ATLANTIC DISTURBANCE AT THE WEEKEND: WIND, BUT ALSO RAIN
Friends of RIWMAG and METEOEVENTI welcome back. After a "technical" absence of a few months, here we are again punctual with the updates related to the weather for the weekend.
It has given way to the high pressure structure over the Mediterranean that is causing a shortage of water in several Italian regions, especially in the north. Its collapse is due to an Atlantic disturbance that is already affecting our beautiful country and will continue to be the main weather actor of the weekend.
Saturday, in fact, the whole peninsula will be under the action of the Atlantic low pressure and, inside, a cold structure will move at high altitude that will pass over the central-northern regions, digging a good pressure gradient to the ground.
Sunday, a channel of low pressure will extend from the Iberian Peninsula to the Balkans, but the baric gradient on the ground will be less intense.
He waited, Therefore, two windy days, especially Saturday, but with rain that will fall on many of our coasts.
Pressure (Geopotential Height Black isoline) temperature (in color) scheduled for the night between Saturday and Sunday. Highlighted the Atlantic low pressure structure that will be present over the Mediterranean for the entire weekend (source ECMWF www.ecmwf.int and elaborated by METEOEVENTI).
We try to identify which will be the areas where there will be more chances to find wind and "pleasant" weather.

The extinction of the rain will also see the wind drop, in particular on the eastern sector.

Tyrrhenian side: the southern Tyrrhenian coasts will see a gray and rainy weather, although breezy for West-Southwest on 18/20 nodes.
islands Sardinia: disrupted day with rain, but very windy for Mistral that will blow on the 28/30 knots on the west and north coasts of the island, 22/25 knots on the remaining Sardinian coasts. Ventilation up to 35 knots and more on the spots overlooking the Strait of Bonifacio;
Sicily: waiting for a windy day with winds mainly of the West that will blow on the 25/28 nodi sulle coste occidentali, 15/18 nodes on the northern ones, 20/22 nodes south of the island, as well as between Catania and Syracuse. The day will also be slightly disturbed with intermittent drizzle.
SUNDAY
north Tyrrhenian side: we will still have wind from the quadrants of Levante on the Ligurian coasts of Imperia with intensity on the 15 nodes, in a slightly disturbed context with intermittent drizzle;
Adriatic side: nothing to report.
Little or nothing to report on the great lakes of northern Italy.
center Tyrrhenian side nothing to report;
Adriatic side little windy even the Adriatic coasts of central Italy.
