Kathy Schrey examines the current severe weather situation with heavy rain, thunderstorms, and risk of flooding. Localized areas may experience rain amounts that overwhelm the sewage system, with small rivers and streams at risk of overflowing. Particularly problematic are the potential prolonged periods of rain that could last until Friday morning. Within 12 to 24 hours, 30 to 50 liters, locally even up to 80 liters per square meter are possible. Also abroad: Parts of France, Italy, and Croatia up to the Dinaric Mountains are at risk of mudslides and landslides. Meanwhile, many other parts of the country remain dry – but a cold air mass intrusion is causing a significant temperature drop.
