  • The Servicio Meteorológico Nacional issued a yellow alert for Saturday 26 September covering Entre Ríos, western Río Negro, southwest Neuquén and northwest Chubut.
  • The SMN said Entre Ríos may see storms with 20–50 mm of rain in short periods, occasional hail and strong wind gusts that could cause local damage.
