Warning of hazardous hydrological phenomena
On the evening of July 13, the Dniester River at the Zaliщики hydrological post (Ternopil region) is expected to see a flood wave cresting at 290–340 cm above the post’s zero level. The forecast water discharge is 200–300 m³/s. No negative consequences are expected (green level).
Between July 13–14, rivers Styr (Shchurovychi post) and Radostavka (Triytsia post) in Lviv region could see further water-level rises of 0.1–0.3 m above the morning levels of July 12, possibly causing minor overbank flooding.

Localized overbank flooding could occur, with some agricultural lands and facilities at risk of partial inundation. These areas are under a Level I (yellow) warning.
