The rain episode, expected to be continuous and locally heavy, could leave accumulations exceeding 80-90 liters in coastal, pre-coastal, Pyrenees, and Pre-Pyrenees areas. The Catalan Meteorological Service has issued warnings for intensity, especially in Camp de Tarragona and Terres de l'Ebre during Saturday morning.
In the Barcelonès region, intense rain is expected to concentrate from late Saturday morning, around 11 or 12 hours. The episode is anticipated to be more persistent during the first day of the weekend, with the possibility of exceeding 100 liters of accumulated water in 24 hours in densely populated areas.
It is necessary to be cautious and plan activities in advance during this weekend, as there is a risk of rivers and streams overflowing due to continuous precipitation.
Regarding snow, the Neucat plan has been activated for intense snowfall on the southern slope of the Western Pyrenees, where the snow line could drop to 1,000 meters. The ICGCat also warns of an increased avalanche danger, with depths exceeding 20 cm above 1,400 meters.
Furthermore, strong waves are expected, with swells over two and a half meters near Cap de Creus. Meteorological models suggest the possibility of a new easterly storm (llevantada), bringing intense rain and strong winds, between Monday and Tuesday of next week.
