Less than a week after torrential rainfall triggered deadly flooding from France into northern Italy, a new storm will threaten the region once again.
Last week's flooding resulted in at least nine deaths across the region and caused severe damage to roadways and communities.
This weekend, locations from Marseille to Nice, Genoa and Milan, will experience a 6- to 12-hour period of torrential rainfall, raising the risk for flooding and mudslides.
Downpours will return to southern France as early as Saturday evening, with the heaviest rain expected late Saturday night into Sunday afternoon.
Rainfall will hold off until Saturday night across northwest Italy, with downpours expected to drench the area during the day on Sunday.
RELATED:
Total rainfall of 25-75 mm (1-3 inches) with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 125 mm (5 inches) is possible across the region by Monday morning.
A burst of heavy rainfall will also target parts of northeast Italy, Slovenia and northwest Croatia.
A few showers may dampen the region into Sunday before the heaviest rainfall arrives Sunday night into Monday.
Flooding and mudslides will be a concern as the region is forecast to receive 25-75 mm (1-3 inches) of rainfall.
This flooding risk includes Venice, which has been inundated by floodwaters multiple days during the month of November.
Much of the region can then expect dry weather on Tuesday and Wednesday before the threat of rainfall increases on Thursday and Friday.
