The prediction of the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) for today, Wednesday February 22, risk alert (yellow warning) for snowfall, which will accumulate between two and 15 centimeters of snow, in eight provinces of the northern third of the peninsula.
The AEMET forecasts the arrival of a cold front that will drop rainfall in the Cantabrian area and periods of strong wind in Galicia, as well as a general drop in temperatures.
Specifically, the yellow notice will affect Lugo, Asturias and Cantabria, where up to 15 centimeters of snow will accumulate in 24 hours; to Orense, where about 10 centimeters of snow will be collected, as well as in Burgos, León, Palencia and La Rioja where they will add between two and six centimeters of snow.
The AEMET forecasts an increase in instability with abundant clouds and widespread precipitation in the northern third of the peninsula, more important in the Cantabrian area, where they could become locally strong or persistent.
The cloudiness will extend to the rest of the northern half, where some precipitation may also occur, which will be in the form of showers and storms in mountain areas of Aragon and Catalonia.
Slightly cloudy skies will predominate in the rest of the Peninsula, although there may be low morning clouds in the west of the southern plateau and in Andalusia, and evolutionary clouds are expected in the interior of the southeast that could leave isolated showers.
Likewise, the AEMET does not rule out some weak precipitation at the beginning in the north of the Balearic Islands.
In the Canary Islands, this will be a Wednesday with slightly cloudy skies, although with cloudy intervals in the north of the higher-profile islands, with probable precipitation, and without ruling out a shower in the interior of Tenerife.
The snow level in the Bay of Biscay will be between 1,400 and 1,600 meters but will drop to 600 or 800 meters while in the rest of the Peninsula the level will begin at 1,600 to 1,800 meters and will drop to 1,000 or 1,200 meters in the north of the system Iberian.
The AEMET does not rule out morning fog in areas of the Balearic Islands, the North plateau and the west of the South plateau and Andalusia and possible haze in the Canary Islands and on the Peninsula, although it will tend to subside.
The maximum temperatures will drop in most of the center and north of the Peninsula while the minimum will drop in Galicia and Cantabria and there will be few changes or slight drops in the rest.
Likewise, there will be weak frosts in the Pyrenees, the Cantabrian mountain range and isolated points of other mountain systems. The wind will blow from the northwest in the Canary Islands, it will come from the west in the south of the Mediterranean area and from the west turning northwest in the rest of the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. The most intense will blow on the coasts, with strong intervals at the end on the Galician coast.
