In the North, the cold will likely cause snow episodes which may also affect some sections of the upper Po Valley in particular the western sectors, a clear sign of the incoming arctic air.
In the Centre-South, the rains will intensify especially on the Tyrrhenian side, while in the Apennines the snow, at times heavy, will fall at variable altitudes, making the day particularly disturbed.
In the North, after residual rainfall in the eastern sectors in the early morning, the weather will tend to improve everywhere, but leaving room for the cold: in fact, these are expected intense night frosts across the entire western Po Valley in the hours close to dawn.
In the central-southern regions, rainfall will continue to be abundant, particularly on the Tyrrhenian side, with neve on the Apennines at altitudes between 900 and 1500 meterswhile rains and thunderstorms will affect much of the territory.
