I hope too I'll try to do something I hope to don't lose the heavy rain, these configurations are very unforeseeables. just 50-100 kms shift to north or south could be decisive!

very strong MCS at the SW Italy. Now it's on the west Sicily! tomorrow it will come at the Ionian see and my zone could have very heavy strong! start tonight and I'd see the first thundestorm next morning!

last week-end, very several weather in the nothen Italy. 100-150mm near Milan, and 200-300mm on the toscan mountains. At the Alps, especially central zone, came back the snow! In Passo Tonale, more 100cm! from wednesdy evening and Friday morning, will be alert in the ionian zone. start from east Sicily to my area (south Puglia), because cold drop actually near north-west Africa is goingt to move to SO!

very hot in the south here t max 19.6° min 17.1°!!! in Sicily, yesterday evening looked like summer: in Cefalù(near Palermo-northen island) at 23:00, there were 28°!!! today max 29° between Thusday and Friday, my area could have heavy rain.(I hope ) very interest situation: strong vertical velocity at 700hPa and humidity avvection. we'd have a good cape and lifted index too.probable MCS?

I don't know how many time we haven't got the same situation. we didn't have rain for 3 month, and the fire destroyed a lot of green zone, especially in Puglia,Sicilia and Abbruzzo
