Stable time will continue on Wednesday in the Peninsula and Balearic Islands, thanks to the influence of a wide anticyclone that dominates much of Europe. Clear skies are foreseen in most of the territory, with the exception of some fogs, especially in the northern plateau. The State Meteorology Agency (Aemet) has warned that from Friday An irruption of polar air will cause a accused thermal descent and could bring snowy to low levels.
This Wednesday there is Yellow warning due to icy temperatures of at least -6 degrees in the Iberian of Burgos and Soria until 10:00 hours. In addition, The yellow warning has been activated until 12:00 on the Palencia, Salamanca, Valladolid and Zamora plateau due to dense fogs that will reduce visibility to about 100 meters. These fogs could be swimming, which could generate ice plates and make them locally persistent.
The sky will remain clear in most of the country, although some areas will experience cloudy intervals. Remains of a little active front could cause dispersed weak rains in northern Galicia and the Cantabrian, while in Melilla an occasional show is not ruled out. In the Canary Islands, clouds are expected with weak rains in the north of the mountainous islands, while the rest of the archipelago will present little cloudy skies. The formation of mists and morning mists in the Eastern Cantabrian, the Northern Plateau and interior valleys of Galicia, as well as Calima in the Eastern Islands of the Canary Islands.
Temperatures will descend in the Eastern Cantabrian, Pyrenees and the Iberian system, while they will increase in Galicia. The minimums will be recorded in Segovia (9 degrees), Burgos and Lleida (10), and Ávila and Zamora (11). As for the wind, Ráfagas de Sertamontana is expected in Ampurdán (Girona), North Wind in the Balearic Islands, Cierzo in the Ebro Valley, lift in the Strait and Alborán, Eastern wind in the Cantabrian and the north of Galicia, and Alisio In the Canary Islands.
He Thursday It will be similar to the previous days, one day with anticyclonic time, practically without rainfall and temperatures without changes. Therefore, frost will continue inside the north and east, with values between -2 and -4ºC. Again as in previous days, frost can be somewhat more intense in mountain areas.
Collapse of temperatures and new storms
On Friday “Very cold winds” from the interior of the European continent will cause a decrease in temperatures by dragging a mass of cold air. “The temperature drop would be noticeable above all in diurnal values and in the northern peninsular half, while the weekend this thermal drop would extend to a good part of the territory and the night temperatures would also lower,” details the Aemet spokesman , Rubén del Campo. At points of the Northern Plateau, moors of the center and mountain areas could be lowered from -5ºC and for the day no more than 8ºC would be reached in large areas of the north and center of the territory.
The latest forecasts of the Meteored Reference Model show that the interaction between this mass of cold air that will advance in a retrograde way over the Mediterraneanor favor the cycloogenesis processes (storm formation), giving rise to rains and snowfall in several regions at the end of this week and the beginning of the next. According to the weather portal, the maps contemplate various scenarios, but some casualties will probably be formed in our environment. “Depending on its location, rainfall (in some areas could snow in low levels) will be more or less extensive.”
Finally, although they admit that during those days it will be quite cold in the continent, they deny that a new ‘east beast’ will arrive, referring to the headlines of some British media that are comparing the next irruption of cold air with that of February 2018 that generated a great cold and snow temporal in the British Isles.
