Additional flooding rain is expected across southern Europe this week, just on the heels of last week’s flooding rainfall.
Moisture from the Mediterranean Sea will fall across areas from southeastern France to Italy and from Slovenia to Greece.
While this system does not look as potent as the storm that occurred last week, it will still bring the potential for additional flooding. The greatest threat for flooding will occur in northern Italy, especially on the southern slopes of the Alps.
In addition to heavy rainfall, over a metre of snow will fall in the Alps, adding to the vast amount of snow that fell during the last storm.
Rainfall in excess of 150mm is expected to soak parts of northern Italy where major flooding is possible.
Not only will flash flooding be likely, but long-duration river flooding is possible as well. Due the heavy rain during the past week, and the expected rainfall this week, larger rivers like the Ticino and Po may spill out of their banks for several days.
The heavy rain is expected to begin today across southeast France and northern Italy and will continue at varying intensities through Wednesday. The flooding threat will spread farther to the south through the remainder of the week.
