Thunderstorms in Centrosud, temperatures even down to 10 degrees, snow down to below 1,000 meters, gusts of wind up to 100 km / h: a taste of winter is arriving in Italy between Friday and the weekend.
"Cold air of direct arctic extraction - explains the meteorologist of 3bmeteo.com, Edoardo Ferrara - will reach Italy between Friday and Saturday and, although it will be a hit and run of a few days, will give life to a cyclonic vortex on the Tyrrhenian Sea. We therefore expect a phase of bad weather that will essentially concern the Centrosud with rains and thunderstorms, even of strong intensity.Particular attention to Sardinia, Calabria and Sicily where there may be storms or particularly abundant rains, with sometimes consistent accumulations and possible local flooding or discomfort. But strong thunderstorms - he adds - may also affect the Tyrrhenian coasts, especially between Lazio and Campania, as well as the middle Adriatic side and subsequently also Basilicata and Puglia. The North, on the other hand, will remain on the margins of the cyclonic action, with fleeting rainfall between Thursday and Friday, especially on Emilia Romagna, followed by ample clearing up, for a sunny weekend ".
"The arrival of cold air - continues Ferrara - will favor a sharp drop in temperatures between Friday and Saturday over most of Italy, but in particular in the North, along the Adriatic side and in the mountains in general, where they will also be lost beyond 8-10 ° C compared to the previous days. The snow will thus return to whiten the Apennines up to the average altitudes, but also stretches below 900-1000m on the central one. The first night frosts on the plains expected at Centronord to start from the weekend, with locally up to -1 ° C / -2 ° C in Valpadana and inland areas of Tuscany, Umbria, Marche and Abruzzo ".
"The passage of the cyclonic vortex - concludes the 3bmeteo.com meteorologist - will also cause a significant strengthening of the winds between Friday and Saturday, first of Tramontana and Ponente, then of Bora and Grecale all over Italy, with gusts also of 90-100km / h in particular on the Tyrrhenian Sea, Sardinia and Sicily ".
