Good evening everyone! Finally back on Italy

a bit 'of dynamic weather, and the determining factor is the wind. A core of cold air of Arctic origin is on him in those hours on the northern slopes of the Alps, in the next few hours this will spill over the Mediterranean, giving birth to a minimum of pressure on central Italy and insisting for several days, at least until Sunday. The cold air will result from both the port of Bora, and from the Rhone Valley, and certainly will talk about the media, who always try to shoot the exclusive.

As GFS shows the first image on the temperature at the altitude of 850 hPa geopotential (Ie approximately 1400 m above sea level) around the center-north will from tomorrow evening under a constant temperature of -5 ° C to -10 ° C and going up north (towards the Alps). However, there is nothing exceptional, but the cold will feel all right, thanks windchill effect emphasized by the strong northerly winds.

For the northern Adriatic, the peak intensity will be the night between Friday and Saturday, with peaks over 30 knots, which will cause severe storms on the northern sectors (as shown in the image for a GFS am Saturday). Storms also consistent with a view to Sardinia (east and west) and Sicily.

Per l'alto Adriatico si preparano da 3 a 4 giorni di onde consecutive, abbastanza insolito come evento. Tuttavia, c'è da dire che l'ipotermia è sempre dietro l'angolo, considerando che sarà probabile surfare anche con contorno di fiocchi bianchi svolazzanti tra Romagna e Marche settentrionali. Perciò coprirsi bene di neoprene ovunque sarà d'obbligo, ed in questi casi chi è in possesso di una buona 6-5 mm sarà il privilegiato...
