Mexico weather forecast: warmer afternoon, rain and storms in central and southern states, Digi Mart USA News (Mexico): Ahead of more autumnal conditions, sunshine and temperatures are forecast to increase on Wednesday, although isolated rain and storms are likely.
A cold front, its polar air mass, is expected to arrive, allowing temperatures to be higher in a milder environment where heat also gains ground. However, troughs will remain which, together with the mountains and the heat, would favor areas of rain.
Although rainfall has been scarce in recent weeks, runoff continues to provide benefits. In the Cutzamala system, the highest level of the season was reached this Monday, with storage at 95.9%.
If the expected winter pattern continues, further benefits are expected for forests, fields and water bodies.
Two situations stand out. The first is a trough west of the Gulf of Mexico, from the northeast to the southeast, where it will connect with a significant inflow of moisture from the Caribbean.
This is expected to bring scattered and locally strong precipitation this afternoon and night, although accumulations will not be very high.
On the other side, in the central-southern states between the Bajío, the Valley of Mexico and part of the Pacific, isolated rain events are expected due to humidity, the region’s mountains and local effects. In the north, northwest and west, the weather will be more stable; however, the jet stream will activate, bringing rain and a drop in temperature from tomorrow in the west and center.
Average accumulations of 10 to 20 mm are forecast in sectors of the northeast, east, center, south and southeast, including Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí, Querétaro, Hidalgo, State of Mexico, Mexico City, Puebla, Tlaxcala, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Tabasco, Chiapas and Quintana Roo. Local totals of 30 to 50 mm are possible, with a high potential for hail in the Altiplano states.
Isolated accumulations of 5 to 15 mm could occur in Chihuahua, Durango, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Morelos, Guerrero, Campeche and Yucatán, with some higher amounts not ruled out in mountainous areas and the interior of the Yucatán Peninsula. Thursday will bring greater rainfall in the Altiplano and Gulf of Mexico.
Although lower temperatures would be welcome, the environment is milder this afternoon in the north, northeast and center, with temperatures ranging from 16 to 26 °C, and lower in mountainous areas at 10 to 16 °C, where nighttime will be cold with frost.
