A cold front moves away from the Southeast region towards Espírito Santo. Another cold front advances over Rio Grande do Sul and causes storms.

The warm, humid air spreading over Brazil favors the formation of heavy clouds in many states, in all regions of the country.

Dry air predominates over the northeastern region, making it difficult for large clouds and rain to form across much of the region.
