Storm with hail hits Barra do Quaraí and Uruguaiana, with instability warning until Monday in RS

In Barra do Quaraí, there was a record of rain with hail. In Uruguaiana, a storm arrived in the region in the early evening.

The phenomena occur amid warnings issued by the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet), Climatempo and the State Civil Defense, which already indicated a risk of instability between this Friday (25) and next Monday (28).

According to meteorological warnings, the change in weather is associated with the action of a low pressure area located between the north of Argentina and Paraguay. This system favors the transport of hot and humid air towards Rio Grande do Sul, creating conditions for the formation of storms.

On Sunday (27), instability gains scope. Civil Defense warns of winds that can exceed 90 km/h and large hail in Campanha, Oeste, Missões, Northwest, North and Center. The heat remains intense in the North and Northwest, reaching 35 degrees in Horizontina. In the extreme south, the climate is milder, with a minimum of 12 degrees in Chuí.

Monday (28) maintains unstable weather due to the organization of a new frontal system. Civil Defense warns that the total rainfall between Saturday and Monday could exceed 200 millimeters in Campanha and the west of the state. In just 24 hours, volumes can exceed 170 millimeters in these regions.
