New storm fronts blew through parts of Italy on Wednesday, bringing low-pressure systems with precipitation including heavy snowfall at high elevations, and colder weather to regions of the center and south.
    Civil protection agencies issued weather advisories including high-wind warnings Wednesday for gales blowing across the Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Lombardy, Liguria and Tuscany, gusting at times and bringing storm surges to costal areas.
    Powerful winds as high as 100 kilometres per hour were also threatening southern regions from Campania to Sicily as well as mountainous parts of Basilicata and Calabria and on the island of Sardinia.
    Those same areas will also see rains and even electrical storms in the next few days, weather experts warned.
    Meanwhile, more snow was expected at higher altitudes of between 200 meters and 300 meters in Lazio, Abruzzo, and Umbria overnight Wednesday with weak accumulations.
    With recent warm weather in many parts of Italy, hopes for an early spring had been budding. But those hopes were snipped off abruptly by forecasters warnings of a cold front bearing down on much of the country.
    Thursday forecasts included critical 'orange' warnings for flooding in the plains area of the Emilia Romagna region stretching to Ravenna and along the coastal areas of Abruzzo and Marche.
    Temperatures in Rome that reached 17 degrees C on Wednesday were expected to climb no higher than 9 degrees C on Thursday, while in L'Aquila, cold weather was expected to be more intense, falling to just 4 degrees C on Thursday after Wednesday highs of 18.
    Wind chills will even become a factor in Italy's centre and southern regions, at times feeling as cold as zero degrees C on Thursday.
    The weekend is forecast to be more comfortable, with more sunshine and warmer temperatures.
