The orange warning, the second highest level on the scale, has been issued for Västernorrland and Västerbotten County.
According to SMHI, there is a danger of very high water flows in streams and rivers.
Buildings and roads can be damaged in floods.
– There is a lot of flooded land along streams and rivers as well as in exposed or low-lying areas, with impact, for example, on buildings, roads and bridges, SMHI confirms.
The authority also warns of very high current speeds in waterways.
Yellow warning along the entire West Coast
During Friday, a yellow warning was also issued for the southwest coast – from Helsingborg to Varberg.
– Rising water levels pose a risk of flooding along the coast, SMHI said in a statement.
Residents of affected areas may be affected in the following ways, according to the warning:
– Danger of flooding of low-lying sidewalks, sidewalks, roads or buildings.
– The clear height under bridges is reduced, which may lead to damage to anchored boats or ships.
– Sensitive coastal stretches may be exposed to corrosion damage.
Past hurricanes cause this
Former Hurricane Kirk is expected to cause problems in the coming days.
The hurricane gained momentum in the Atlantic Ocean and is moving towards the western parts of Europe during the week.
When Kirk arrives in Sweden on Thursday and Friday, it is estimated that he has lost a lot of speed.
However, Swedish people should prepare for strong winds and heavy amounts of rain.
– Towards Thursday night, a new area of rain moves from the south over Götaland, associated with low pressure in Kirk. SMHI meteorologist Angelika Lundberg confirmed in a statement that rain is spreading north across the country during the day, and heavy rain could fall locally.
During Friday, the precipitation area moves north.
During Friday, the depression passes north over northern Sweden with rain, snow, and winds. To the south, the weather will stabilize somewhat, as cool, dry air is expected to move in from the northwest. In many places, the meteorologist says, the sun will alternate with clouds and some rain may fall.
