The instability, as predicted by MetSul, brought localized hailstorms in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul on Friday (28). These were the cases of the municipalities of Alegrete in the early morning and São Gabriel in the afternoon. The hot air brought by a jet stream to low levels of the atmosphere provided the energy for the formation of clouds charged with lightning and isolated hail.

MetSul Meteorology warns that the risk of hail continues in the next few hours and even on Saturday.

The numerical models indicate for this Saturday a greater risk of hail in Uruguay, in the west and in the south of Rio Grande do Sul, but the possibility that the phenomenon even reaches areas of the center of Rio Grande do Sul. The subscriber can access to the hail hazard maps of different models in the maps section.

On Sunday, with the cooler air moving in, the trend is for a significant decrease in the risk of hail.
