The National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) has issued a storm warning for the entire state, classified as dangerous, and valid throughout the day. The climatic situation is a result of the influence of a new cold front moving through the region.

Additionally, the formation of the extratropical cyclone is also expected to affect the weather in neighboring areas, including parts of Uruguay. Forecasts indicate that on Friday (21), the cyclone may gain strength as it moves away from the coast, expanding cloud coverage over southern Brazil.
