Anticipated weather change for the weekend: rain expected in the AMBA following the passage of a cold front.
Headline: Significant Storm Expected to Hit Central Argentina, Particularly Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA)
On the horizon, a low-pressure area is moving from the Pacific Ocean towards the coast of Chile, signalling the beginning of dynamic weather patterns in central Argentina.
Sunday, August 17: Clouds will dominate the sky, with temperatures rising to 16 degrees. The approaching low-pressure area is expected to generate strong winds and the occurrence of Zonda in some regions.
Monday, August 18: Isolated showers and unstable conditions will be observed, but not significant rains. However, on this day, precipitations and scattered storms will reach La Pampa, Córdoba, the south of Santa Fe, and the west of Buenos Aires.
Tuesday, August 19: The day that weather forecasters are closely watching. A deep low-pressure center will form and advance, with the center and north of Buenos Aires, the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA), and the south of the Littoral having the highest probability of registering strong storms. Significant rains are expected to arrive in the AMBA, with predicted precipitation between 50 to 70 mm throughout the day. This storm could release the equivalent of the entire August rainfall in just one day. Persistent rain is anticipated, followed by improvement after Tuesday.
Wind will also be a relevant factor, with sustained winds between 20 and 40 kilometers per hour, and gusts that could reach between 50 and 75 kilometers per hour. This combination of phenomena will increase the likelihood of official meteorological alerts being issued in various parts of the country's center.
For the rest of central Argentina, similar timing can be inferred given the storm system affecting Buenos Aires. However, no explicit forecast details were found in the search results for areas beyond AMBA.
Later in the week: Weather forecast for Buenos Aires City and several points in the Buenos Aires province remains stable, with temperatures around 10 degrees. For the rest of the week, temperatures will continue to rise, with a maximum of 18 degrees and a minimum of 13 degrees.
Although there are small discrepancies between the models regarding the evolution of the system and the most affected areas, there is consensus that a significant part of the central provinces will face a complex scenario. The forecast includes the presence of strong winds associated with the development of a deep low-pressure center.
In the northeast of Argentina, the precipitations on Tuesday are expected to exceed the average monthly rainfall for August in a single day. Once the low-pressure area crosses the Andes Cordillera, it is expected to generate strong winds and the occurrence of Zonda in some regions.
In conclusion, residents in central Argentina, particularly in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area, are advised to stay informed and prepared for the upcoming storm. Official meteorological alerts will be issued as necessary.
- The forecast for Tuesday in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) indicates significant rains, with predicted precipitation between 50 to 70 mm, suggesting a possible release of the entire August rainfall in just one day.
- Weather forecasters are closely watching Tuesday, as a deep low-pressure center is expected to form and advance, generating strong storms and wind gusts up to 75 km/h, necessitating official meteorological alerts in various parts of central Argentina.
