Weather report. Rain and thunderstorms, including heavy ones, in parts of Italy. Situation and forecast for the next few hours « 3B Meteo

SITUATION 8 AM. A depression area centered on the British Isles favors infiltrations of humid western currents towards our northern regions, responsible for showers and thunderstorms which affected the North-West during the night with locally abundant phenomena. The ones who paid the price were Valle d’Aosta, Liguria, upper Lombardy and above all Piedmont, where there was further rainfall, at times intense, after yesterday’s afternoon-evening storms which mainly hit the Turin area. More stable conditions in the rest of Italy, with the anticyclone protecting the central regions and especially the southern ones.

RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS TARGETS PIEDMONT. During the night, rain and showers, including thunderstorms, affected a good part of Piedmont, especially central-northern areas, with thunderstorms that lingered at dawn in Astigiano, Alessandrino, Vercellese and Novarese, up to the border with Lombardy. Rain continues to fall on Verbano, where rainfall accumulations reach 60mm in the last 24 hours. Around Turin, the accumulations of the last 24 hours exceed 40mm, in particular in the southern areas, where there were very violent hailstorms yesterday afternoon. In the western Alps the snow fell during the night up to an altitude of 2200m, leaving a few centimeters of accumulation on the ground between Valle d’Aosta and upper Piedmont.

Cogne (AO). Dusted during the night at altitude, above 2200m:

SHOWERS OVER UPPER LOMBARDY. Rain and showers also reached upper Lombardy during the night, in particular the north-western sector, between Milanese, Brianza, Comasco and Varesotto. Phenomena that are decidedly weaker or even absent in the eastern areas of the region.

WEATHER FOR THE NEXT HOURS. To the North in the morning some rain in Liguria, showers between upper Piedmont and upper Lombardy, more stable conditions elsewhere. From the afternoon there will be a clear intensification of the instability with rains and showers that will conquer the entire Alpine area and even thunderstorms spreading towards the Po Valley, especially in the sectors north of the Po, also accompanied by hail and local storms in Piedmont and Lombardy, in extension to Veneto and Friuli VG. Some thunderstorms also in Emilia Romagna, albeit more isolated, some showers in Liguria, especially in the Levante. In the evening there is a tendency for the phenomena to attenuate starting from the North-West. To the Center initially sunny, except for thickening in upper Tuscany. From the afternoon, increasing instability in internal Tuscany with showers and thunderstorms extending to Umbria and the interior of the Marche region, in the evening local encroachments up to the northern Marche coasts; elsewhere more stable and sunny conditions prevail. To the South stable and mostly sunny weather in all regions. Temperatures declining in the North. For all the details enter the section Italy weather.
