After a snowy and chilly end to the week, conditions will become even colder over the weekend.

Thursday night was cloudy with occasional clear spells, and snowfall in several areas.

As Thursday transitioned into Friday, the cold intensified, and temperatures ranged from -9 to -4 degrees Celsius.

The morning will stay cloudy with some clear spells, scattered snowfalls mainly in the east, light northerly breezes with coastal gusts up to 12 meters per second, and ambient temperatures much the same as seen overnight.

These conditions continue through the day, and it will not get appreciably milder or clearer. The snow will spread to the north coast as far west as the Tallinn area, while the light breezes will become lighter still.

Saturday will similarly remain just as cold and snowy, with mean temperatures nationwide at -7 degrees, a couple of degrees higher than the average overnight. Moist air in coastal areas can bring snowfall particularly in the afternoon, and carbon-copy conditions are expected for Sunday.

Monday, February 17, will bring slightly milder temperatures, particularly in coastal areas, but continued snowfall.

From Tuesday and beyond, the mean temperature nationwide is forecast at -2, which means precipitation will just as likely fall as sleet as snow.

Overall, expect a cold and snowy weekend, with conditions slightly easing by midweek.
