### Baja California Weather Alert: Prepare for Strong Winds, Rough Seas, and Cool Temperatures
Residents of Baja California should brace themselves for intense weather conditions as two cold fronts are moving in from the northwest and north, according to the latest update from the National Water Commission (CONAGUA). These cold fronts are merging with the subtropical jet stream, resulting in strong winds, turbulent seas, and scattered showers across the region.
Forecasted wind gusts reaching 50 to 70 km/h are expected to affect both Baja California and Baja California Sur, which are likely to stir up dust clouds and impact visibility for both drivers and pilots. For those on the west coast, wave heights are anticipated to range between 1 and 3 meters, posing a danger to smaller watercraft.
Here are the weather conditions expected in key areas:
– **Tijuana:** The day will see partly cloudy skies with light rain, leading to thunderstorms early in the morning. Temperatures will range from 13°C to 17°C, with northwest winds reaching up to 30 km/h during the night.
– **Mexicali:** Overcast conditions are expected, with temperatures between 18°C and 29°C. Strong westerly winds could reach 56 km/h in the afternoon.
– **Ensenada:** Intermittent clouds and light rain are predicted, with temperatures from 14°C to 20°C. The area will experience west winds of up to 30 km/h.
– **Tecate:** The forecast calls for cloudy skies and heavy showers with temperatures between 10°C and 16°C, and winds around 38 km/h.
– **La Rumorosa:** Anticipate partly cloudy skies in the day turning to thunderstorms later, with temperatures ranging from 8°C to 15°C. Southwest winds are expected to gust up to 79 km/h at night.
– **Rosarito:** Similar to Tijuana, light rain and possible early-morning thunderstorms are expected, with temperatures ranging from 14°C to 16°C and winds up to 29 km/h.
