• Météo France maintains orange vigilance for Vosges, Haut-Rhin, Haute-Saône, Territoire de Belfort and Doubs until mid-afternoon Thursday.
• Observed totals have reached 40–60 mm in Vosges and Haut-Rhin and 20–40 mm in the other three departments, with a further 50–70 mm possible locally up to 80–90 mm through the afternoon.
• The episode has shifted from thunderstorms to prolonged rain, with conditions lingering into mid-afternoon—longer over Franche-Comté—before a general end in the evening.
• Neighbouring departments, notably Côte-d'Or and Haute-Marne, could still see locally significant precipitation but with lower intensity.
• Heavy rain Wednesday evening flooded a section of the A11 near Chartres, forcing a partial closure and vehicle evacuations, according to Vinci Autoroute and the transport minister.
