ARArgentina's National Weather Service (SMN) has issued yellow and orange alerts for the next few days due to storms, snowfall, rain, and strong winds across various regions including the coast, northwest, Cuyo, and Patagonia. The warnings follow the arrival of a high-pressure system causing low temperatures. Orange-level alerts for snowfall are concentrated in western Patagonian mountainous areas, where the agency predicts weather phenomena that could disrupt normal activities and advises taking extra precautions. Additionally, there are ongoing warnings for Zonda winds in the north and extreme cold in the south. According to Meteored, the El Niño phenomenon alters atmospheric circulation over South America, strengthening the subtropical jet stream and increasing the frequency and intensity of the low-level South American jet stream, which transports heat and moisture from the Amazon to Paraguay and northern Argentina before extending further into other parts of South America. This combination creates conditions conducive to severe thunderstorms. Orange and yellow snow alerts cover narrow strips along the mountains, mainly in western San Juan and Mendoza, with amber alerts expanding
