The weather episode warns of fully winter conditions and demanding circumstances across much of Catalonia. Rain will initially affect the southern and western half of the autonomy during the early morning hours, later spreading to all parts of the territory, although it will be less likely in the far northeast until noon.
Generally abundant rainfall is expected, with accumulations that could locally exceed 50 millimeters. In specific areas of the coast, pre-coastal range, and the southern slopes of the Pyrenees and Pre-Pyrenees, values could reach around 100 millimeters in 24 hours, accompanied by thunderstorms in coastal and pre-coastal areas.
The maximum danger level is set at three out of six, with orange warnings for rain intensity and flood risk in several regions.
Meteocat has issued orange warnings for rain intensity in Tarragonès, Baix Camp, Priorat, Alt Camp, and Conca de Barberà. Furthermore, orange warnings for flood risk have been activated in Berguedà, Ripollès, Alta Ribagorça, Pallars Jussà, Solsonès, Conca de Barberà, Alt Camp, Baix Camp, and Priorat.
Regarding snow, the snow line will be between 1,400 and 1,600 meters, although in the western Pyrenees and Pre-Pyrenees it will temporarily drop to around 1,000 meters. Accumulations of up to 40 centimeters are expected above 2,000 meters. The orange snow alert affects Alta Ribagorça, Pallars Jussà, Pallars Sobirà, and Alt Urgell. Finally, Alt Empordà is under a yellow alert for strong waves, which could exceed two and a half meters in height.
