Overview
- The Servicio Meteorológico Nacional issued coordinated orange and yellow alerts for storms affecting 16 provinces for Saturday, November 14, signaling elevated risk in multiple regions.
- Orange alerts cover parts of north Córdoba, Santa Fe, southeast Chaco, west Corrientes, west La Rioja, west San Juan and north San Luis with forecast accumulations of 80–120 mm and gusts that can exceed 90 km/h.
- Yellow alerts apply to provinces including Buenos Aires (AMBA), Tucumán, Salta and Jujuy where expected rainfall is lower at about 15–40 mm but can still bring frequent lightning, hail and strong gusts locally.
- The SMN published time‑bound windows for many areas — for example Santiago del Estero (03:00–08:59), Córdoba city/province (03:46–08:59) and Resistencia, Chaco (09:00–14:59) — and local updates show the first front shifted away from Bahía Blanca removing its alert.
- Coverage notes extreme pre‑event heat in some provinces (Santiago del Estero reached 42.8°C), urges people to follow local authority instructions, avoid unnecessary travel, secure loose objects and prepare basic emergency supplies because flash flooding and infrastructure damage are possible.
