Like Friday, a mainly sunny day forecast for Saturday but with a high risk of rain by the evening. It will be quite blowy again, and for the south and east coasts there are yellow warnings from midnight Friday to midnight Saturday; waves of four metres and gusts of 60 km/h. These warnings are currently due to remain in place until noon Sunday.

Storm Leonardo is moving away but coming up right behind is Storm Marta, which is expected to bring heavy rain to parts of the mainland on Saturday and begin to be felt in the Balearics. For Sunday, weather stations are forecasting thunderstorms, while a special advisory from the met agency refers to "very strong gusts of wind" in the Balearics. For the moment, though, the only weather warnings are those for the coasts.

Looking ahead into next week, Thursday appears as if it may be especially windy. Aemet will presumably have moved on to an N storm by then or even an O the way things are going.
