Heavy rainfall in Juiz de Fora is expected to reduce over the weekend, although the city will maintain its state of alert due to soil conditions and local drainage issues.
Following a period of intense rainfall that has led to tragedies in the Zona da Mata Mineira region, the weather forecast for Juiz de Fora is set to improve in the coming days. Meteorologists indicate a gradual decrease in rainfall volume, starting on Saturday, but the city will continue to maintain its alert status due to the saturation of the soil and challenges with local drainage systems. The area has suffered significant impact from severe weather conditions, prompting concerns for safety and recovery efforts.
The Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais has been the hardest hit by this week's storms, with reports of at least 55 individuals confirmed missing in the cities of Juiz de Fora and Ubá. The prolonged rainfall has caused extensive damage, raising alarms regarding the risks of further landslides and flooding. While meteorologists predict a shift in weather patterns, residents are urged to remain cautious, as conditions may still be hazardous.
On Saturday morning, there may still be instances of instability in the weather over Juiz de Fora, but it is anticipated that by Saturday afternoon and into Sunday, rainfall will primarily affect northern Minas Gerais and parts of the state of Espírito Santo. The local authorities are monitoring the situation closely, focusing on ensuring public safety and readiness for any potential emergency response as they work to address the aftermath of the heavy rains.
