'Explosive Cyclogenesis Éowyn': Roberto Brasero warns about tomorrow in Spain
Although today will be a much calmer day overall, the weather will get complicated again in Spain starting tomorrow
After several days marked by the Garoé storm, which brought heavy rains and winds to much of Spain, it seems this disturbance is retreating. However, the calm won't last long.
Roberto Brasero has warned of the arrival of a new storm that could alter weather conditions. It will especially affect areas that had enjoyed some calm in recent days.
The protagonist of this new episode of instability is the Éowyn storm. It has been named by the United Kingdom's Meteorological Office, as the British Isles will be at the epicenter of its effects.
This system is undergoing a process of "explosive cyclogenesis" that promises a strong windstorm in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales starting on Friday. Roberto Brasero assures that Spain won't be at the center of the storm. Nevertheless, its influence will be felt, especially on the Atlantic coast.
Friday: Coastal Warnings and Winds in the North
On Friday, the first signs of Éowyn are expected to reach Spanish territory shaped as waves and winds. According to Roberto Brasero's forecasts, there will be orange-level coastal warnings on the Galician coast.
In areas of Galicia and the Cantabrian mountain range, there could also be yellow warnings for strong winds. In the rest of the country, the day will be calmer, with mostly clear skies and pleasant temperatures.
Saturday: Widespread Rains and Temperature Drop
On Saturday, a front associated with Éowyn will quickly cross from west to east, leaving cloudy skies and rains affecting much of the Peninsula. These precipitations will be more intense and persistent in Galicia, the Cantabrian mountain range, and the west of the Central system.
In the Mediterranean area and the Balearic Islands, hardly any rain is expected, Roberto Brasero states. Additionally, a drop in temperatures is expected, with snowfalls in mountain areas above 1,400-1,800 meters (4,593-5,906 feet), which could drop to 1,000-1,200 meters (3,281-3,937 feet) in the afternoon.
In the Canary Islands, the north of the higher relief islands will have cloudy intervals and light rains, while the rest will enjoy clear skies.
Sunday: Brief Respite before More Rains
Although the rains announced by Roberto Brasero for Saturday will subside in most regions by the end of the day, the calm will be brief. According to AEMET's forecasts, a new front could follow the same path on Sunday, bringing rains again to close the weekend and start the next week with instability.
This weather outlook highlights the dynamism typical of the winter season, in which Atlantic storms are usually the protagonists. So it's advisable to stay tuned for updates and prepare for days of umbrellas and coats.
