**Weather Alert in Baja California: Prepare for Strong Winds and Rough Seas**
Baja California is facing a challenging weather pattern this week due to two cold fronts approaching from the northwest and north. These weather fronts are interacting with the subtropical jet stream, leading to strong winds, rough seas, and scattered showers throughout the region, according to the latest update from the National Water Commission.
Residents of both Baja California and Baja California Sur should expect wind gusts ranging from 50 to 70 km/h, which could create dust clouds and decrease visibility on the roads and in the skies. The west coast will experience waves between 1 and 3 meters high, posing a risk for smaller vessels.
Here’s a closer look at what to expect in various regions across Baja California:
– **Tijuana**: Expect partly cloudy skies with light rain throughout the day, and possible early morning thunderstorms. Temperatures will range from 13°C to 17°C, with northwesterly winds reaching up to 30 km/h at night.
– **Mexicali**: Overcast skies are anticipated with temperatures between 18°C and 29°C. Strong westerly winds could increase up to 56 km/h in the afternoon.
– **Ensenada**: Residents should prepare for intermittent clouds and light rain, with temperatures from 14°C to 20°C and west winds potentially reaching 30 km/h.
– **Tecate**: Cloudy weather with heavy showers is expected, alongside temperatures ranging from 10°C to 16°C and wind speeds around 38 km/h.
– **La Rumorosa**: Anticipate partly cloudy conditions with light rain during the day, transitioning to thunderstorms later. Temperatures are forecasted between 8°C and 15°C, with southwest winds peaking at 79 km/h at night.
