**Baja California Weather Alert: Prepare for Strong Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
Baja California is experiencing an onset of adverse weather conditions, as highlighted in the latest update from CONAGUA. Two cold fronts arriving from the northwest and north, combined with the subtropical jet stream, are bringing intense winds, turbulent seas, and scattered showers to the region.
Expect wind gusts between 50 and 70 km/h affecting both Baja California and Baja California Sur, which could stir up dust clouds, reducing visibility both on the roads and in the skies. The west coast will encounter waves between 1 and 3 meters, posing significant risks for smaller vessels.
