Following the passage of storm Nils, a new deep depression named Oriana will hit Catalonia starting Friday afternoon. According to the Meteorological Service of Catalonia, the most affected areas will be the southern third and the Pyrenees, especially the Aran Valley.
“"The combination of a very deep storm and a marked pressure gradient will generate a very intense northwestern flow resulting in very violent gusts."
On Saturday, the situation is expected to worsen with widespread orange warnings. In Aran, Pallars Sobirà, and Alta Ribagorça, gusts could exceed 100 km/h, while snow is expected above 1,000 meters.
