Overview
- The cyclone that pounded the Tyrrhenian side shifts east on Friday, bringing clearer skies but lingering maestrale winds and large waves that gradually subside.
- Meteorologists say another moisture‑rich band is set to arrive Sunday with the heaviest rain targeting Lazio, Abruzzo and Molise, with unsettled conditions likely to persist into Monday.
- Earlier downpours were concentrated between eastern Liguria and northern Tuscany, where modelled multi‑day totals could surpass 400 mm in the most exposed areas.
- Gusts reached or are forecast near 90–100 km/h, with locally higher bursts in alpine valleys, and seas turned rough with risk of coastal battering especially in the Ligurian sector.
- Tuscany was placed under an orange alert with school closures in Livorno, Carrara and other municipalities, while several regions had yellow advisories as saturated soils raised flood and landslide risk.
