WEEKEND: THE "QUIET" AFTER THE STORM
Welcome back friends of RIWMAG and METEOEVENTI. A new weekend just around the corner, What will bring us in store?
The title says it all: in these days a real storm will affect the regions of the extreme south of Italy. It's, in fact, A tropical-like cyclone is forming (TLC in jargon Tropical Like Cyclone), Close relative of tropical storms that result in hurricanes in the ocean.
This depressionary structure will mainly affect Sicily and Calabria today and tomorrow, But over the weekend the comeback of high pressure over western European regions will restore calm.
Pressure (Geopotential Height Black isoline) and temperature (in color) planned for the night between Saturday and Sunday. The high pressure rises over the western part of the continent affecting our peninsula, helping to undermine the disturbance eastwards (source ECMWF www.ecmwf.int and elaborated by METEOEVENTI).
Let's try to understand how much quiet we will have on the Italian commercials.
SATURDAY
north Tyrrhenian side: nothing to report on the Tyrrhenian coasts of northern Italy;
Adriatic side: the coasts of Ancona will see a Mistral breeze blowing in the morning on the 12/15 nodes, in attenuation during the afternoon.
Little winds will also be the large alpine lakes for a low pressure gradient in the Alps.
center Tyrrhenian side: even the Tyrrhenian part of central Italy will be little windy. Only the coasts of Grosseto will see intensify a weak ventilation from the north (10/12 nodes).
Adriatic side: a weak Mistral wind will tend to flow off the Adriatic coast of central Italy. However, we will be able to have intensities close to 10 nodes.
south Adriatic side: a weak Mistral will affect the upper part of the Gargano 10/12 nodes, while westerly winds will blow on the coasts of Bari and Brindisi with intensity up to 18/20 nodes;
Ionic side: Expected northerly wind of medium intensity on 20/22 nodes. Interested will be the coasts from Molise to Salento. The wind from the north will head towards the Crotonese where it will blow on the 22/25 knots passing off the remaining Calabrian coast;
Tyrrhenian side: nothing to report.
islands Sardinia: nothing to report;
Sicily: winds from the North-Northeast will affect the Syracuse area and the surrounding Ragusan areas with intensity on 18/20 nodes.
SUNDAY
north Tyrrhenian side: A new quiet day with little wind;
Adriatic side: Nothing to report even on this side.
Even on the large alpine lakes The day will not be remembered for the wind.
center Adriatic side: the Mistral will begin to blow already in the morning on the coasts of Grosseto with intensity on the 15/18 nodes. Elsewhere we will again have a day with little wind;
Tyrrhenian side: on the Ancona area a weak northeasterly wind will begin to blow during the afternoon reaching intensity on the 10/12 nodes. Further south the prevailing wind will still be Mistral on 12/15 knots more likely on the coasts on the border between Abruzzo and Molise.
south Adriatic side: the Mistral will blow in the morning on most of the Apulian coasts with average intensity on the 15/18 nodes. From mid-morning the Northwest will tend to dispose more from the North affecting the Gargano and the Bari coasts in the early afternoon (15 nodes) pushing again towards Salento during the afternoon;
Ionic side: Mistral morning more likely on the Salento coasts (15/18 nodes). Subsequently, the wind will rotate from the north, intensifying until 20 knots and affecting all the coasts of Puglia and Molise and then pushing towards the Crotonese where it will reach greater intensities and on the 20/22 nodes;
Tyrrhenian side: Nothing to report until late afternoon, when the wind from the north will intensify on the coasts of Campania where it will reach intensity of 15/18 nodes.
On the commercials of the Strait of Messina we will have the typical ventilation from the North, about 18/20 nodes.
islands Sardinia: some wind from the western quadrants will blow in the morning in Gallura (15 nodes). During the afternoon we will have a rotation from the Northwest with expected intensities on the 15 knots always in Gallura and on the southwestern part of the island;
Sicily: expected wind from the north on Trapani where it will intensify reaching the 18/20 knots in the late morning. The wind from the North will reach the adjacent coasts of Agrigento with a more north-west component and intensity on the 15 nodes.
Good weekend to all and, as usual ...
MAY THE WIND BE WITH YOU! Stay tuned with METEOEVENTI
