Violent storm warning By Samúel Karl Ólason 13. mars 2015 16:54 Vísir/GVA A violent storm with hurricane-force wind gusts will occur tomorrow, Saturday 14 March. Icelandic Met Office has issued warnings due to wind (southerly 20-30 m/s) with wind gusts exceeding 50 m/s. Intense rain and snow-melt is expected during the weekend. The most intense rainfall will occur in the south and south-east of the country, especially around Mýrdalsjökull and south of Vatnajökull. Rising river levels are expected throughout the south of the country. Rapid melting of recently fallen snow could result in river and stream floods, slush flows, and, possibly, mud flows. National warnings for wind, rain, hazardous flash floods, wet snow avalanches, slush flows and landslides are in effect. The same weather warnings apply to Reykjavík and the surrounding area. Wind gusts on Saturday 14 March will make travel exceptionally hazardous. All non-essential travel should be avoided and people are advised to remain indoors. Forecasts and warnings will be updated at three-hour intervals on IMO's web-site.
