Italy Braces for New Storm Friday as Cold Snap Persists

Forecasts point to a Libeccio-driven system from Friday that shifts the focus to Tyrrhenian rain and severe weekend winds over the major islands.

Overview

  • A brief lull is expected today in parts of the Center-North, while the Adriatic side and the South keep clouds, showers, and low-elevation snow.
  • Nighttime temperatures are forecast to drop to about -5°C in the Po Valley and inland Tuscany, setting up sharp frosts where snow remains.
  • From Friday, Libeccio winds are expected to drive a new system that brings rain along the Tyrrhenian corridor from Liguria to Calabria.
  • Weekend outlooks highlight renewed downpours over the Centre-South with a localized flash-flood risk between Campania and Calabria.
  • Maestrale gusts could top 100 km/h over Sardinia and Sicily, and fresh cold could return snow to hill levels on the mid-lower Adriatic.
