Severe weather is hitting Italy again, bringing rain, thunderstorms, cold, and snow. On Saturday, January 11th, a low-pressure system will affect central and southern Italy, bringing widespread precipitation and thunderstorms, accompanied by the first snowfalls in the Apennine regions.
Bad weather conditions will continue tomorrow, Sunday, January 12, especially in the South, where snowfall is expected up to hilly altitudes and a strengthening of winds from the northeast. Temperatures, overall, will drop.
The weekend will also be marked by the movement of the Azores High toward the North, up to Norway, which will allow the arrival of Arctic air in Italy. This phenomenon will bring snow to the Aosta Valley and the Alps, while the bad weather will also move toward the Center-South, announcing a 'polar' Sunday with a possible drop in temperatures and snowfall at low altitudes, as indicated by ilmeteo.it.
The forecast for Monday and Tuesday is for polar cold, with thermometers dropping to -5 degrees in the Po Valley and in the main cities of the North. In the South, showers and thunderstorms are expected until Tuesday.

It's a bit strange that the bad weather continues to hit, I read that Saturday there will be a strong worsening and a lot of snow on the hills. Let's hope that the forecast is right because the polar cold doesn't please anyone.
