For other districts the yellow snow code applies. In central Bulgaria and in parts of south and southeastern Bulgaria there are rainfalls. 

New snowfalls and a drop in temperatures are expected today. In northern and western Bulgaria the thickness of the snow cover will increase. There will be snowstorms along the mountain passes.
