**Baja California Weather Alert: Prepare for Intense Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
Baja California residents are in for a week of challenging weather conditions as per the latest forecast from CONAGUA. Two cold fronts advancing from the northwest and north are set to collide with the subtropical jet stream, ushering in powerful winds, turbulent seas, and scattered showers across the region.
Wind gusts are expected to reach between 50 and 70 km/h across both Baja California and Baja California Sur, stirring up dust clouds that could limit visibility both on the road and in the air. On the west coast, waves are anticipated to reach between 1 and 3 meters, posing potential hazards for smaller vessels. Here’s a detailed look at what some parts of the region can expect:
– **Tijuana**: Partly cloudy with light rain during the day and thunderstorms anticipated in the early morning. Temperatures will range from 13°C to 17°C, with northwesterly winds reaching up to 30 km/h at night.
