Southern Italy to Face Lingering Storms
While conditions are expected to improve in the Northeast and much of central Italy by late morning and early afternoon, the storm will persist in the South.The Tyrrhenian coast of Campania, Calabria, and the northeastern districts of Sicily will experience continued rain and thunderstorms.
Towards evening, the bad weather will extend to the low Adriatic side, particularly in southern Puglia, where strong rains and intense thunderstorms are possible.
