A weak low-pressure system is currently affecting the region, while a weak high-pressure system is expected starting tomorrow. From tonight through Monday, the island will be influenced by a relatively cold air mass.
This afternoon, in most parts of the island, the weather will be mostly clear with temporarily increased cloud cover; however, in the mountains and in areas to the south, developing clouds are expected to bring isolated showers and isolated thunderstorms. Hail is possible during thunderstorms. Winds will be mainly northwesterly to northeasterly, light to moderate, 3 to 4 Beaufort, and at times along the western, northern, and eastern coasts, they may reach strong levels, 4 to 5 Beaufort. The sea will be generally slightly rough and will gradually become rough in the west, north, and east.
