Stationary thunderstorms ?

Situation to follow

“Episode of heavy autumnal stormy rains usual for the season and the regions concerned but deserving particular vigilance due to high accumulations expected locally in a short time, which could generate occasional phenomena of intense runoff” , warns Météo France .

The rain is coming to Narbonne

The episode is shifting from west to east and has already reached the city of Narbonne where the showers are starting.
