Consequently, roads will be slippery, and patches of lingering ice beneath the fresh rain, added to temperatures fluctuation on either side of freezing point could create treacherous conditions for drivers.
Moderate southerly and south-easterly winds will blow, with gusts of 7-12 meters per second.
Air temperatures will slowly rise, reaching +1 to -2 degrees Celsius in the evening, and as usual the air in the Kurzeme region in the west of the country will be milder, climbing as high as + 5 C. Consequently, conditions could become wet and muddy in many places.
