Sofia should record temperatures of about -2C, the Bulgarian Meteorological Service reported on its website. Along the Black Sea coast, mild to moderate southeasterly winds will prevail. It will be cloudy with possible snow in the south. According to the report, conditions in the mountains will be considerably worse than they were on January 26, as it is expected to be cloudy, causing much reduced visibility, while moderate southeasterly winds will prevail throughout the day. At 2000m, temperatures should be around -12C.
