Extreme Phenomena likely in these regions soon [Mappa]

Weather warning: a strong wave of bad weather is expected in some of our regions in the next few hours. Given the so much potential energy at play, we do not exclude the possibility of extreme events such as hailstorms and storms: in this regard, the Civil Protection alert was promptly triggered.

All eyes set between next night and the early hours of Tuesday 21 May when a vast area of ​​low pressure will deepen over our seas, at the same time attracting very humid and warm air from the southern quadrants. Precisely from the interaction between different air masses, the risk for the development of massive storm cells capable of discharging to the ground will increase large quantities of water and provoke hail And strong gusts of wind.
Maximum attention, in particular on Lombardy, where thunderstorms are expected in the western pre-Alpine sectors and the western plain. Precipitation will be abundant and persistent, with cumulative precipitation lasting up to more 150 l/m2 in just a few hours (the amount that usually falls in a month) on the provinces of Varese, How, Lecco and locally also on Brianza And Milan. Possible storms also on the Eastern Piedmont, Romagna and the pre-Alpine belt/high plains of the Triveneto.

This could represent potential risk from a geo-hydrological point of view with the possibility of floods And landslides: the greatest danger with these configurations is determined by the fact that storm systems of this type could persist for several hours on the same areas, discharging to the ground all the water that usually falls in 2 months in addition to the fact that rivers and streams are already at their highest levels after the many rains of the last few weeks.

Also there Civil protection has issued aalert due to the risk of strong storms with local hydro-geological instability.
