New round of rain tomorrow due to Storm Leonardo

We leave behind a changeable Wednesday due to the passage of a warm front associated with the Atlantic storm. Leonardo The morning brought quite a few clouds, with light and scattered drizzle or spray. It was light and not everywhere, with the most significant accumulations on the southern slopes of the Pyrenees in Lleida, where between 5 and 7 liters per square meter were recorded locally. The afternoon was calmer and sunnier, but the respite will be short-lived, as a new, more active front driven by the same low-pressure system will arrive on Thursday, bringing a dose of light rain to all regions and more snow to the southern slopes of the Pyrenees, although at a much higher snow level. All this will be accompanied by stronger winds, rough seas, and rising temperatures. Leonardo It is leaving a lot of water in the south of the Peninsula, where it is raining on already wet ground, with many floods and incidents.

Thursday: New rain front

The passage of a more active warm front associated with the storm Leonardo This will bring a flurry of light rain from west to east this Thursday. The precipitation will begin in the Ponent region and along the Ebro River in the early morning, gradually spreading eastward throughout the day. It will be another overcast day, with some sunshine in the northeast in the morning – where little to no rain is likely – and in the south in the afternoon. At night, the rain will be concentrated in the Pyrenees and Pre-Pyrenees of Lleida.

The snow level will rise sharply due to the arrival of a warmer air mass. It will be around 1,800 or 2,000 meters in the morning, and may drop to 1,600 meters in the afternoon. Therefore, more snow is expected in the higher elevations of the Pyrenees, especially on the southern slopes of the western range, where more than 20 or 25 cm of new snow could accumulate.

Some light and scattered showers are also expected in the Balearic Islands and the Valencian Community, and the rain could become very heavy again in Andalusia, where it's already raining on saturated ground. All of this will be accompanied by warmer temperatures, with many areas reaching 11 to 16 °C. Winds from the west and southwest will strengthen, with strong gusts at higher elevations, along the Costa Brava, in the Valencian Community, and in the Balearic Islands, creating rough seas.

No respite from the fronts

The rest of the week will be marked by the passage of new weather fronts, keeping the weather changeable and unsettled. On Friday, the sky will be variable, with a chance of some light showers in the Empordà region, the interior of the Ebro valley, and the Pyrenees and Pre-Pyrenees of Lleida. Over the weekend, there will be some scattered and minor showers here and there, with a rollercoaster of temperatures. This weather, more British than Mediterranean, will continue for a few more days.
