Expect torrential rain in Agder, Rogaland and Telemark – danger of closed roads – news Vestfold and Telemark – Local news, TV and radio

According to Borander, there are some fairly powerful and stagnant showers over parts of the three counties mentioned. – Based on the lightning observations that you can find on Yr.no, there is also some thunder in them, she says. The meteorologist assumes that it is especially the western areas of Agder that will feel the heavy rainfall first. – But there is generally a lot of storm activity in the area, so the warning initially applies until 9pm tonight, says Borander. WARNING: State meteorologist Pernille Borander states that there may be both thunder and heavy rainfall in Rogaland, Agder and Telemark.

There is a risk of stormwater in densely built-up areas, local floods, stream and river course changes, as well as landslides and flash floods where the rain showers hit, reports the Meteorological Institute. Through the night and until Wednesday morning, the storm will decrease in strength. However, the showers will move eastwards throughout the day. – Then there may again be heavy shower activity and local thunder throughout the afternoon on Wednesday. However, we have not issued a warning about this yet. Local showers Borander is clear that these are very local showers and that some will probably not notice the storm. – For Telemark’s part, it is the inland areas that can get a fairly good downpour. The recommendations from the Meteorological Institute are to keep up to date on the development of the weather and the weather forecast. They also ask that people stay away from steep slopes and streams with a large flow of water, as well as adapt the speed of traffic and avoid unnecessary traffic in exposed places.
