A high-risk weather event is anticipated across the North Adriatic region, with forecasts indicating rainfall accumulations of 200-300 mm within a 12-hour period. This follows a record-breaking rainfall event in southwestern Slovenia. The severe weather is attributed to a deep upper-level trough from ex-hurricane Erin, which is expected to generate widespread thunderstorm activity. The National Weather Service has issued high and moderate risk warnings for areas likely to experience damaging flash floods, severe winds, and large hail.
