Thursday will be marked by a clear increase in instability. The cold mass at altitude, which has been affecting the eastern peninsula and the Balearic Islands since the beginning of the week, will extend southward, generating overcast skies and afternoon storms in large areas of the interior and the Mediterranean.
Proof of this are the yellow warnings for rain and storms that will be activated at 2:00 p.m. in areas of Aragon, Castilla-La Mancha and the Valencian Community. Specifically, in the areas where the Gúdar mountain range and the Maestrazgo of Teruel come together, as well as in the Serranía de Cuenca or in the northern interior of Valencia. The warnings will be deactivated, the forecast indicates, at 10:00 p.m. There will also be a yellow warning between 12:00 and 18:00 in the interior and in the south of Majorca for the same reasons.
From the early hours, abundant clouds are expected on the coast of Catalonia and the Gulf of Valencia, with scattered showers, while in the southwest the medium and high cloudiness will gain ground, leaving skies covered in much of Andalusia and Extremadura. During the afternoon, evolution clouds will form in the interior, which will give rise to storms in the southern half and, above all, in the eastern third, where they may be locally strong, especially in areas of the central-eastern peninsula.
Fog warning in Lugo
In the north, the day will be calmer, with slightly cloudy skies, although morning and evening fog banks are not ruled out in the northern and eastern thirds, persistent in the north of Lugo and in the Galician Rías. Precisely in A Mariña and in the center of Lugo There are unusual yellow warnings activated until 10:00 a.m. this Thursday due to fog: The AEMET warns of an episode that will reduce visibility to only 200 meters, so take special care on the road. In the Canary Islands, the skies will be covered with medium and high clouds, with rain more likely in the western islands, especially on the western and southern slopes.
Maximum temperatures will drop in Galicia and in the southern third, where the decrease will be more pronounced in the Galician interior. The minimum temperatures will fall slightly on the Cantabrian and Mediterranean coasts, but will rise in the rest of the country, especially in mountain areas and on the eastern islands. In the Pyrenees, there could be weak frosts on summits.
