### Weather Alert for Baja California: Expect Strong Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures
Residents of Baja California are advised to prepare for challenging weather conditions as two cold fronts approach the region. These fronts, moving in from the northwest and north, are combining with the subtropical jet stream to bring high winds, turbulent seas, and intermittent showers, according to the latest update from the National Water Commission.
Baja California and Baja California Sur are expected to experience wind gusts ranging from 50 to 70 km/h. These winds may cause dust clouds, leading to reduced visibility for drivers and air travelers. Meanwhile, coastal areas may see waves reaching heights between 1 and 3 meters, posing risks for smaller vessels.
Here’s a snapshot of the expected weather across key locations:
– **Tijuana:** Partly cloudy with occasional light rain during the day and potential thunderstorms in the early morning. Temperatures are expected to range from 13°C to 17°C, with northwest winds up to 30 km/h during the night.
