**Baja California Weather Alert: Prepare for Powerful Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
Residents of Baja California, be prepared for challenging weather conditions this week. According to the latest updates from CONAGUA, two cold fronts are moving in from the northwest and north. These systems are combining with the subtropical jet stream to deliver strong winds, turbulent seas, and scattered showers throughout the region.
Expect wind gusts between 50 and 70 km/h across Baja California and Baja California Sur—sufficiently strong to raise dust clouds and reduce visibility both on the roads and in the skies. The western coastline will experience waves ranging from 1 to 3 meters, posing a hazard for smaller vessels.
Here’s a quick look at the weather forecast for key locations:
– **Tijuana**: Mostly cloudy with light rain during the day and thunderstorms expected in the early morning. Temperatures will range between 13°C and 17°C, with northwest winds reaching up to 30 km/h at night.
– **Mexicali**: Grey skies are anticipated with temperatures fluctuating between 18°C and 29°C. Strong westerly winds could reach 56 km/h in the afternoon.
