**Weather Alert for Baja California: Prepare for Strong Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
Baja California is experiencing some challenging weather as the week begins. According to the latest update from meteorological experts, two cold fronts are making their way from the northwest and north. These systems are converging with the subtropical jet stream, resulting in high winds, turbulent seas, and scattered showers throughout the region.
Residents should expect wind gusts ranging from 50 to 70 km/h across Baja California and Baja California Sur. These winds are potent enough to stir up dust clouds, reducing visibility on roads and in the skies. The western coast is predicted to see waves between 1 and 3 meters, posing a hazard to smaller vessels.
Here’s a detailed weather breakdown for different areas:
– **Tijuana**: Partly cloudy with light rains expected during the day and thunderstorms in the early morning. Temperatures will range from 13°C to 17°C, with northwest winds reaching up to 30 km/h at night.
