Europe

Weather Underground Forecast for Thursday, November 05, 2009.

Unsettled weather is expected over Europe on Thursday due to a strong low pressure system hovering over the British Isles. The system will have obtained ample moisture from the North Atlantic and will allow for wet weather to spread from the British Isles, into Scandinavia, over central Europe, and into the western Mediterranean. A strong front that led this precipitation will continue on its eastward track, making it into eastern Europe by evening. Strongest storms from this event are expected to fall over Hungary and Serbia, with rainfall totals between 1-2 inches. This system will also allow for mixed precipitation in the higher elevations, but will be lighter on Wednesday as the front is well east of the region. Expect just a dusting of snow in most of Switzerland and northern Italy. London and Paris will see another rainy and dreary day with highs in the lower 50s(F)/ lower teens(C), while Oslo will see periods of snowfall as highs remain in the mid-30s(F)/ 3(C). Rome and Barcelona will not see any rainfall on Thursday, but will see increasingly cloudy skies with cool conditions as highs are only expected to reach into the lower to mid-60s(F)/ mid-teens(C).

To the east, a trough of low pressure will extend eastward from this system will continue tracking eastward over the Black Sea and into southwestern Moscow will remain sunny with a few clouds and highs in the lower 30s(F)/ near 3(C). Strongest storms from this event will be contained to just along the northeastern region surrounding the Black Sea.
