Arpa Piedmont weather forecast
This afternoon a large polar trough, which is associated with a closed circulation at high altitude, is descending southwards, moving from the British Isles towards Portugal. The rapid descent, combined with the deepening of the low pressure on the ground as well, will lead to a marked worsening of the weather in Piedmont. Today there will be scattered showers and thunderstorms across the western Alps, subsequently moving across the plains with intense rain, local hailstorms and gusts of wind, generally easing in the evening.
More widespread rain tomorrow
Tomorrow, after a morning characterized by scattered weak precipitations, the minimum will rotate towards the western Mediterranean and will convey increasingly intense humid flows to our region which will give rise to more widespread and persistent rains, with strong and locally thunderstorm-like peaks, first in the sector western and, from the evening, on northern Piedmont.
Bad weather also on Wednesday
The low pressure area, blocked in its eastward movement by a robust anticyclonic promontory, will continue to bring strong southern humid flows also on Wednesday, with locally widespread rains and thunderstorms still strong or very strong, in particular in northern Piedmont.
The yellow alert
In light of this, the Arpa Piemonte Functional Center has issued a yellow warning for thunderstorms on all the plains (zones I, L, M) and on the southwestern sectors (zones E, F) for today, while a warning for tomorrow yellow for hydrogeological risk linked to the persistence of precipitation, in the northern sectors (zones A, B) and the adjacent plain (I).
