South Region
Overcast and rainy conditions begin to increase over southern Brazil this Wednesday and volatile weather is expected to prevail for most of the end of the extended holiday. This time the rain will not come from a cold front, but from the sharp drop in atmospheric pressure. A low atmospheric pressure slowly drifts over southern Brazil.
For Friday 7 and Saturday the forecasts are for a lot of cloudiness and frequent rains over almost all of southern Brazil, with the risk of heavy rains in the three states.

Periods with sunshine will increase over Santa Catarina and Paraná, but still with the occurrence of rain showers.
There are no forecasts of intense cold in the South, such as in the mornings and nights of the first weekend of April. But excessive cloudiness and rain will leave the temperature mild.
Southeast Region
All of the southeastern states will experience rain showers over the long Easter holidays, but the most persistent cloud cover and rain should be observed in Sao Paulo.
The presence of warm and humid air forms rain clouds in the South-East, but usually in the afternoon. But the state of São Paulo will be closer to a major low pressure that will cause a lot of rain in southern Brazil over the weekend.

Low air pressure was advancing over Sao Paulo on Saturday, thickening rain across the state and increasing conditions for rain in parts of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro as well. In the south of Minas, in the Triângulo Mineiro/Alto Paranaíba, in the Grande Rio and in the Sul Fluminense (region of Resende, Angra dos Reis, Paraty) the cloud cover will be abundant throughout the day and showers are expected to occur several times, and can be moderate to strong, in a few hours.
