This Wednesday evening, the IRM issued a bad weather warning for Thursday, and thus placed the entire eastern part of Belgium on yellow alert for thunderstorms. The alert therefore concerns the provinces of Liège, Namur, Luxembourg, Walloon Brabant, Flemish Brabant, Limburg and Antwerp, and runs from Thursday 11 a.m. to Friday 2 a.m. The number 1722 has also been activated.
This sudden instability is due to the rise towards Belgium, during the night from Wednesday to Thursday, of a thermal trough coming from France. It will stagnate in our country during the day on Thursday, reactivating. This is what will “very likely give rise to the development of intense storm cells”, indicates the MRI. “Showers will first affect the regions close to the French border, then will also occur in the east of the country, before spreading to other central and Flanders regions during or at the end of the day. noon and evening”, we can still read on the website of the meteorological institute.
Weather: temperatures will rise, “but in return, we will find an unstable air mass”
The expected showers will be “locally stormy” and might be quite intense, because the MRI speaks of a risk of hail and/or significant accumulations of precipitation in a short time. “The situation is also very complex and forecasts may still evolve. It will therefore be appropriate to pay attention to possible updates to this warning,” concludes the IRM.
