New cyclone brings risk of storms to Paraná; see forecast for Ponta Grossa

The possibility of the formation of a new extratropical cyclone in the Paraná and in the Southern Region puts the weather conditions in the spotlight again for next weekend. The system is expected to organize in the vicinity of Uruguay between Sunday (20) and Monday (21), while an associated cold front could increase instability. In Ponta Grossa, the forecast of Simepar already points to rain and gusts of wind between Saturday (19) and Monday (21).

The weather trend indicates that the new cold front may favor storms initially in the three states of the Southern Region. Among the phenomena associated with the areas of instability are heavy rain, high incidence of lightning, gusts of wind and localized possibility of hail. The formation of the cyclone, however, still depends on the evolution of the atmospheric conditions in the coming days.
