Frontal Systems Drive Hazardous Winds and Rain in Mexico and Spain as Argentina Eyes Weekend Storms

Officials describe a short-lived frontal phase producing hazardous winds and rain now, priming Argentina for weekend storms.

Overview

  • Mexico’s weather service reports cold to very cold mornings with frost risk in highland states, plus north-component gusts of 55–70 km/h across the Isthmus and Gulf of Tehuantepec and up to 50–70 km/h in Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas.
  • Veracruz’s recent Norte linked to Front 11 brought very strong coastal gusts of 80–95 km/h with locally higher peaks, 2–4 m seas and rain totals generally 5–25 mm with isolated 50–75 mm.
  • Galicia remains unsettled on 31 October with widespread rain windows at 100% probability in many municipalities and southerly gusts commonly 35–60 km/h, peaking near 70 km/h in locales such as Cambados.
  • SMN notes gradually warming daytime temperatures later today in Mexico even as morning cold persists, with scattered showers expected in parts of the west, south and southeast including the Yucatán Peninsula.
  • Argentina’s national forecast lists no active adverse-weather alerts, yet a cold front is degrading conditions in Patagonia and is expected to foster isolated to locally intense storms in central-west areas into the weekend before instability spreads east.
