The storms might pack a punch in the north and center, with hail hardly off the table[AEMET]. Additionally, snow will dance in the mountains with a lower altitude than the morning's start[AEMET explores more].
Temperatures will take a tumble in the north, while the west will experience a milder chill.

On the flip side, sunny Murcia and Castellón will reach sizzling 25 and 28°C, respectively[AEMET].
Tuesday will see more storms forming in the northern and eastern third of the Peninsula, as well as the Balearic Islands. Eastern Cantabria, Catalonia, and the Balearic archipelago might face some powerful showers. Snow will fall in the Pyrenees above 1,500 meters, and intense showers might rain on the center of the Peninsula. Conversely, the Canary Islands will face weak and scattered showers[AEMET].
Temperatures will plummet again in the northern half, as well as on the Mediterranean coast and the Balearic Islands. Cities like Burgos will barely reach 11°C, and Ávila, Segovia, or Vitoria will struggle to reach 13°C[AEMET]. On the warmer side, Murcia and Seville will reach a balmy 25°C[AEMET].
On Wednesday, the weather will be relatively calm in the northern half, while the east will witness more showers, especially in the interior of the Valencian Community, Region of Murcia, Almería, and east of Castile-La Mancha. It will rain in the Pyrenees, while other regions will enjoy gaps in the cloud cover.
