Dec. 2 Weather Alerts Span Argentina, the U.S., Mexico and Spain

Forecasters flag rapidly intensifying, contrasting systems that demand local precautions.

Overview

  • Argentina’s meteorological service issued a yellow alert for storms in eastern Jujuy and eastern Salta, warning of short‑period downpours, frequent lightning, localized hail, and gusts that can exceed 80 km/h with 30–70 mm of rainfall possible.
  • The U.S. National Weather Service and Storm Prediction Center expect a rapidly deepening coastal low to deliver heavy snow of 5–10 inches in parts of New England and the Mid‑Atlantic, pockets of freezing rain, and strong winds, with a marginal severe risk in the Florida Panhandle.
  • Mexico’s SMN reports Cold Front No. 17 will drive showers and very cold conditions in the northeast, including mountain frosts near −10 to −5 °C in Chihuahua and Durango, while Nayarit remains hot at 30–35 °C with isolated showers and 1–2 m coastal waves.
  • Spain’s AEMET‑based forecasts call for a very high chance of rain and storms across Galician towns on Dec. 2, with gusts reported up to 63 km/h and cool temperatures keeping conditions damp and unsettled.
  • In Córdoba, Argentina, recovery continues after Nov. 30 storms, with low‑lying Costanera sections closed and municipal crews clearing debris, following five rescues from flooded vehicles with no injuries reported.
