Overview
- The national weather agency issued coordinated orange and yellow alerts for storms and winds that cover roughly a dozen provinces, with alerts published for Friday and valid into early Saturday according to multiple national reports.
- Orange zones are forecast to receive the most severe conditions, including 50–90 mm of rain, hail of varying size, frequent lightning and gusts that may exceed 90 km/h, creating flood and damage risk in western Buenos Aires, southern Córdoba, east La Pampa, east Río Negro and east Chubut.
- Yellow alerts cover areas expecting locally strong storms with 20–50 mm of rain, occasional hail and gusty winds across parts of Buenos Aires province, Santa Fe, San Luis, Tucumán, Jujuy, Catamarca and Tierra del Fuego.
- The SMN issued time‑limited advisories for specific towns—Santa Rosa, La Pampa, for example, is under an orange alert from 15:00 on November 13 until 02:59 on November 14—and local forecasts say instability and heat in northern provinces will raise nocturnal storm risk.
- Authorities and media restated SMN preparedness guidance to secure loose objects, stay inside closed buildings, avoid flooded roads and disconnect electrical appliances if water enters, noting that storms could trigger power outages, travel disruptions and localized flooding.
