**Baja California Weather Alert: Prepare for Gusty Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Conditions**
Baja California is experiencing some challenging weather at the start of the week as a result of a new update from CONAGUA. Two cold fronts are making their approach from the northwest and north, combining with the subtropical jet stream to bring strong winds, rough seas, and scattered showers throughout the region.
Residents and visitors should anticipate wind gusts between 50 and 70 km/h across Baja California and Baja California Sur, strong enough to stir up dust clouds and affect visibility on roads and in the air. Along the west coast, waves will reach 1 to 3 meters, creating risks for smaller vessels.
