Heavy rains still throughout today especially in the central regions, on the Tyrrhenian side and in Sardinia and, from the afternoon, in Campania.
Twenty theses.
A cold front, on the other hand, will touch the Northeast, and then slide along the Adriatic on Saturday, helping to bring temperatures back to values closer to normal in the Centre-South.
From Sunday sun and finally more stable conditions throughout Italy.
These are in a nutshell the forecasts for the next few hours.
Antonio Sanò, director and founder of the website www.iLMeteo.it, confirms the improvement over the weekend but also warns of today's residual bad weather.
In the next few hours, precipitation is still expected in the North-East with snow above 900 meters.
On Saturday morning the last rains will linger over Emilia Romagna, Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio with many clouds still in the Po Valley.
From Sunday then the sun will return to the whole North, with a maximum of 8-10°C also in the Po Valley.
Finally, Sanò ventures the trend for the Christmas holidays: after the passage of some more unstable fronts between the Winter Solstice (December 21) and Christmas Eve (December 24), Holy Christmas could be dry, mild but with some clouds more likely scattered in the North and in Tuscany.
