Ice warning issued for parts of Czechia

The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute has warned that there is a risk of black ice forming on roads and pedestrian walkways on Saturday evening and overnight, with southern and southwestern Bohemia most at risk. Elderly or less mobile people are advised to avoid going outside if possible and motorists have been told to drive with extreme caution and to expect increased travel times.

Snow is expected to come in from the west of the country, with the snowfall turning into rain in some places, which may freeze and form black ice on surfaces and power lines. During the night, the precipitation will move further east, so towards morning, eastern Bohemia and southwestern Moravia will be more at risk.
