SMN Puts Santa Fe, Entre Ríos and Corrientes Under Orange Alert as Severe Storms Sweep Argentina

Forecasters expect the front to push east today, flip winds to the south and set up a quick turn to cooler, drier weather early next week.

Overview

  • Argentina’s meteorological service kept orange and yellow alerts active for Sunday, warning of heavy rain, localized hail and dangerous gusts across wide areas, with the highest risk centered on Santa Fe, Entre Ríos and Corrientes.
  • A strong storm struck Buenos Aires after midnight; the SMN forecast isolated morning showers, brisk conditions and gradual improvement later in the day with temperatures in the low 20s Celsius.
  • Separate wind alerts call for sustained southerlies of 35–55 km/h and gusts potentially above 75 km/h in provinces including Buenos Aires, Entre Ríos, Santa Fe, Córdoba, La Rioja, San Juan, Mendoza, San Luis and La Pampa.
  • Local forecasts show morning instability tapering through the day in cities such as Rosario, Córdoba and Mendoza, with variable clearing and highs generally in the low-to-mid 20s.
  • Meteorological guidance indicates the system will shift into Paraguay and southern Brazil, easing conditions across Argentina next week, while Spain’s Aemet projects a sharp cold plunge from Tuesday with frost and possible mountain snow in the north.
