Severe weather is forecast across much of Chile through at least May 5. Moderate-to-heavy rainfall is expected across parts of south-central Chile and strong winds are likely across much of the country. Snowfall is likely over elevated areas of south-central Chile and may combine with strong winds to cause blizzard conditions in affected areas. Winds gusting up to 90 kph (56 mph) are possible across parts of the country and rainfall totals of up to 4 cm (1.6 inches) are possible in south-central regions. The National Disaster Prevention and Response Service (SENAPRED) has issued a green early warning alert (the lowest level on a three-tier scale) across Biobio, La Araucania, Los Rios, and Maule regions and parts of Antofagasta Regions due to the anticipated severe weather conditions. Heavy downpours may trigger flooding in low-lying areas, and strong winds could cause property damage and power outages.
