Experts inform that after a Thursday still very uncertain in the Triveneto and markedly unstable in the Center-South (especially on the Tyrrhenian side), a new and intense disturbance is expected from Friday.

On Saturday, with the entry of strong winds from Bora, a rapid, but insidious cyclonic vortex will take place that will position itself on Central Italy. An intense phase of bad weather will hit Marche, Abruzzo and Molise with heavy rains and copious snowfalls up to above 3-500 meters, widespread rains also on the lower Tyrrhenian, as in Sicily and Calabria and Campania, also here with snow at hilly altitudes .
