Overview

• Argentina’s meteorological service keeps yellow alerts in place across Buenos Aires and several provinces with localized orange zones signaling heavier rainfall and stronger hazards.
• Short-duration downpours and hail were reported Friday in AMBA and La Plata, with municipal hydrometeorology raising the local risk level and issuing short-term warnings.
• Saturday is expected to bring the most intense convection with a high likelihood of strong to severe storms, frequent lightning, gusts near 50 km/h and a chance of hail.
• Typical rainfall totals are forecast near 20–60 mm in yellow areas with locally higher amounts where orange alerts apply, raising risks of urban flooding and travel disruptions.
• Cordilleran provinces face strong winds and Zonda events with sustained 60–75 km/h flow and higher gusts, while a Sunday frontal shift is set to drive a marked temperature drop in the southwest of Buenos Aires.
