Overview
- A cold, wet front is forecast to move across Italy Thursday and Friday before sliding into the Balkans, setting up a fast improvement.
- Saturday brings the first break with mostly sunny skies and some clouds, then Sunday turns broadly stable under strengthening high pressure.
- Temperatures are expected to rise nationwide, peaking around 17–19°C in the Northwest, the Tyrrhenian central-north and on the major islands.
- Lighter winds, calmer seas and wider sunshine are anticipated as the Azores anticyclone re-establishes over the Mediterranean.
- Along the Alpine borders, brief residual showers are possible with snow above roughly 1,200–1,500 meters, and avalanche danger remains elevated due to unstable fresh snow.
