Meteorological Agencies Warn Of Tropical Development Off Guerrero and Storm Alerts Across Argentina

A low-pressure system south of Guerrero has a high chance of becoming a tropical cyclone that could bring torrential rains while Argentina's national service has issued a yellow alert for storms in ten provinces.

Overview

  • Mexico's SMN and CONAGUA are monitoring a low-pressure area south of Guerrero that they say has a high probability of developing into a tropical cyclone and producing torrential coastal rainfall.
  • Forecasters on Sunday warned of very heavy to torrential rains in parts of Mexico with coastal Guerrero singled out for 150–250 mm and large swaths of the country facing heavy to intense downpours and strong winds.
  • The Argentine Servicio Meteorológico Nacional issued a yellow alert for storms and rain for Sunday, June 7, covering ten provinces and advising precautions because the alert level signals possible localized damage and temporary disruption.
  • Local AEMET-based forecasts for Galician municipalities predict early light rain, dense morning fog and very high humidity that will clear by afternoon with gusts up to about 40–48 km/h.
  • Officials in both countries urged people to avoid unnecessary travel, secure loose objects, keep drains clear and follow real-time updates from SMN, CONAGUA and AEMET as the situation can evolve rapidly and increase flood and wind risks.
