**Title: Cold Front Expected to Hit Baja California This Tuesday Night**
The State Coordination of Civil Protection (CEPC) has announced the approach of the ninth cold front of the year, which is expected to affect the northwestern and northern regions of Mexico, including Baja California. This cold front will bring adverse weather conditions starting Tuesday night, with effects lasting until Wednesday, November 13th.
Salvador Cervantes Hernández, head of CEPC, explained that this weather phenomenon results from the combination of an upper trough, the subtropical jet stream, and a dry line over Coahuila. These interactions will lead to strong winds, isolated showers, and high waves.
From November 12th to the 13th, Baja California is predicted to experience scattered showers and drizzle, along with coastal waves reaching heights of two to three meters, particularly on the western coast. Wind gusts could reach speeds of 70 kilometers per hour, potentially causing dust storms in some areas. In mountainous regions, temperatures may drop to between -10 and -5 °C, with frost expected on Wednesday morning.
Residents are urged to avoid recreational activities in the sea due to the elevated wave conditions and to take caution if traveling along the coast. Small boats are advised against going out to sea and should follow instructions from maritime authorities.
Due to rain and drizzle, caution is advised when driving on roads and highways, as visibility may be reduced and surfaces can become slippery. It is important to avoid crossing streams, canals, or flowing water.
Strong winds and potential dust storms necessitate securing loose objects such as plant pots and other items on patios or balconies. Precaution is also advised while driving, as dust storms can significantly reduce road visibility.
In response to the expected cold temperatures, measures should be taken to protect against the cold and frost, especially during Wednesday’s early hours. Vulnerable populations, like the elderly, children, and those with cold-sensitive health conditions, should stay warm and avoid exposure to low temperatures.
The CEPC will maintain continuous monitoring of weather systems to keep residents informed and aware of potential risks.
**Secondary Article: Strong Winds Expected as Cold Front Reaches Tijuana**
As the ninth cold front of the year moves towards Baja California, local authorities have issued warnings about strong winds set to impact Tijuana. Wind gusts can reach speeds up to 70 kilometers per hour, and these conditions could exacerbate any existing dust issues, making driving conditions hazardous.
Residents have been advised to secure any loose items in their yards or on balconies and to exercise extreme caution on the roads to avoid accidents caused by sudden dust clouds. In coastal regions, the high waves have prompted warnings against engaging in water activities.
The city’s Civil Protection unit underscores the importance of preparing for these weather challenges, advising the public to monitor local reports and heed any official advisories.
