An upper-level trough will be present from just North of the Black Sea to Northern Greece with showers over this region. On Thursday the upper-level ridge will persist over much of Western and Central Europe with strong surface high pressure located over the Western North Sea. Cold upper-level trough will persist over Western Russia to the central Black Sea with periods of showers and higher elevation snows over Eastern Turkey while very little sensible weather will be seen over much of the continent.
