**Baja California Weather Alert: Prepare for High Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
Residents of Baja California should brace for challenging weather conditions this week. According to the latest update from CONAGUA, two cold fronts approaching from the northwest and north are combining with the subtropical jet stream. This convergence is expected to bring strong winds, choppy seas, and scattered showers to the region.
Wind gusts are anticipated to range between 50 and 70 km/h across Baja California and Baja California Sur. These conditions could lead to dust clouds and reduced visibility both on the roads and in the skies. The west coast will experience waves between 1 and 3 meters, which could pose a risk for smaller vessels.
Here’s a quick overview of what’s expected in key areas:
– **Tijuana:** Expect partly cloudy skies with light showers during the day and thunderstorms in the early morning. Temperatures will stay between 13°C and 17°C, with northwest winds reaching up to 30 km/h at night.
