Mexico and Argentina Issue Weekend Weather Alerts as Narda Stays Offshore

Forecasters caution that interacting weather systems will drive hazardous rain, wind, and surf through the weekend.

Overview

  • Hurricane Narda remains a Category 1 system far from Mexico but is generating 2–3 meter swell along the western coast of Baja California Sur, prompting precautions for coastal communities and maritime navigation.
  • Mexico’s national weather service forecasts heavy rain, thunderstorms, hail and strong gusts across more than 10 states as cold front No. 4 interacts with the Mexican monsoon, a cyclonic circulation and low‑pressure channels.
  • Sonora’s civil protection alerts for intense storms with wind gusts above 60 km/h linked to a cyclonic circulation, the monsoon and the subtropical jet, while the front brings a light temperature drop.
  • Sinaloa reports no direct threat from Narda but expects four days of rainfall driven by other systems, and authorities note reservoir storage has improved to an average of 44.2% following recent precipitation.
  • Argentina’s SMN issues alerts for 21 provinces on Saturday, including AMBA for morning storms with gusts near 60–69 km/h, Santa Fe for downpours with possible hail and gusts up to 90 km/h, and Santiago del Estero for northerly winds up to 80 km/h.
