**Baja California Weather Alert: Prepare for Strong Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
Residents of Baja California should brace themselves for some challenging weather conditions as the week kicks off.

Expect wind gusts between 50 and 70 km/h in both Baja California and Baja California Sur—sufficient to whip up dust storms, affecting visibility on roads and in the air. Along the west coast, waves ranging between 1 and 3 meters could pose a risk for smaller vessels.
