Marek Stefaniec opens by welcoming listeners to the weekend forecast, noting the quick passage of time after Easter. He summarizes atmospheric conditions for early April, highlighting minimal rainfall of 3-12 liters per square meter in his region, well below the April norm of 40 liters. He points out that areas in Dolnośląskie and Wielkopolskie have seen no rain at all. Referencing IMGW data, he discusses soil moisture, showing critical lows of 35-40% in Wielkopolska, Górny Śląsk, and Dolny Śląsk, compared to the ideal 70-80% for spring. His own region fares better at 60-70%, but nearby areas like Koneckie and Włoszczowskie drop to 45-50%. He forecasts a temperature increase to 15-18°C next week, which will accelerate plant growth and increase moisture demand. Analyzing barometric topography, he describes weather systems like Rapunzel, a low-pressure system named by Berlin's Free University, which will approach Poland's borders but be blocked by the high-pressure system Kuirin retreating to Scandinavia. This leads to generally high-pressure influence in coming days, with dry winds from the east and southeast. A front over Germany may attempt entry but will dissipate, with another possible around Sunday. He mentions a potential change around April 18 if low-pressure areas break the current blockade. On meteorograms, he notes cold air persisting, with temperatures at altitude dropping from -7°C to -4°C, and surface temperatures around 10°C. Pressure is at 1018 hPa, with initial sun giving way to clouds and slight warming. He warns of dust storms in some areas due to wind. For Saturday, he predicts more clouds, temperatures of 8-9°C, and a cloudless night leading to frosts of -3 to -6°C, emphasizing radiation cooling. Sunday is forecast as sunny with weak wind and up to 12°C, the best day of the week. He contrasts this with yesterday's snowfall, concluding with a sign-off at 9:30.
