Cool temperatures will persist as this system pushes cool air in from the north. Barcelona will be sunny with highs in the mid-40s(F)/ near 6(C).

To the north, a ridge of high pressure over Scandinavia allows for dry weather to spread over the Baltic Sea and into central Europe. Flow around this system continues pushing cold and dry air in from the north, producing another chilly day.
