A further Atlantic disturbance is forecast to reach Campania in the early morning, from around 05:00-06:00, according to Positano News. The first areas affected are expected to be western Casertano, the Neapolitan area and northwestern Salernitano, before storms spread rapidly across the region during the morning.
Rainfall totals are forecast at generally 20-50 mm across much of the region, with locally higher amounts potentially exceeding 100 mm. The strongest potential impacts are highlighted between southern Naples and northern Salerno, with additional localized concern in parts of Avellino, Naples and central-southern Salerno. Exact locations of the most intense downpours remain uncertain.
Campania was under a yellow hydrogeological alert, including Naples and the Sorrento-Amalfi Peninsula, according to the national Civil Protection bulletin. The Campania Region said the alert remained active until 12:00 on Saturday 14 November, with locally intense thunderstorms.
Authorities warned of possible flooding, surface runoff, overflowing waterways, falling rocks and landslides because soils were already saturated. Rough or very rough seas and possible coastal storm surges were expected along exposed coastlines, according to the Region and NapoliToday.
Conditions were expected to improve progressively from late morning in northern areas, with broader improvement possible during the afternoon, according to Positano News. The timing given remains approximate rather than a municipality-by-municipality warning.
