Rain front hitting Italy, two more to follow

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 12 - A rainy front is hitting most of Italy at the moment and two others are set to follow on Friday and Saturday, weatherman Lorenzo Tedici said Wednesday, saying the wettest spell of this winter is now upon us.
    Tedici, a meteorologist at ILMeteo. it, explained that the three phenomena have the same origin, a vast area of low pressure 'blocked' between France and Spain.
    "We will experience a difficult Wednesday with a lot of rain in Liguria, from the north-west to the north-east, from Tuscany to Calabria with thunderstorms and local hailstorms, a lot of snow on the Alps above 1400 meters, strong south-westerly winds and falling temperatures", said Tedici.
    After a slight improvement on Thursday, with clearings, especially in the north, on the Adriatic side and in the far south, on Friday the second disturbance will bring a lot of rain to the center-north and a lot of snow on the Alps, but with two substantial differences: it will not rain in the south, where temperatures will rise above 30 degrees (in Sicily), but unfortunately even more wind will blow.
    The third and final disturbance will arrive on Saturday with strong bad weather in the north and in Tuscany; the rain line will therefore rise even further north than in previous days and the bad weather will spare the whole south and part of the center.
    Detailed forecast: - Wednesday 12. In the north: strong bad weather. In the center: strong bad weather. In the south: bad weather in Campania, scattered rain elsewhere.
    - Thursday 13. In the north: precipitation only on the Alps and Prealps. center: rain mainly on Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio.
    In the south: rain in Campania, almost absent elsewhere.
    - Friday 14. In the north: severe bad weather. In the center: bad weather. In the south: hot and dry.
    Oulook: heavy rain on Saturday in the center-north, attenuation of the phenomena from Sunday. (ANSA).
