**Baja California Weather Alert: Get Ready for High Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
Baja California is facing challenging weather conditions as two cold fronts move in from the northwest and north. According to the latest update from the National Water Commission, these fronts are interacting with the subtropical jet stream, resulting in intense winds, choppy seas, and scattered showers throughout the region.
Residents can expect wind gusts reaching 50 to 70 km/h across both Baja California and Baja California Sur. These strong winds are likely to stir up dust clouds, reducing visibility on both roads and in the skies. For those near the west coast, waves between 1 and 3 meters could pose a threat to smaller vessels.
Here’s a summary of the expected weather in key locations:
– **Tijuana**: The forecast includes partly cloudy skies with light rains during the day and thunderstorms anticipated in the early morning. Temperatures will range between 13°C and 17°C, with northwest winds reaching up to 30 km/h at night.
– **Mexicali**: Overcast skies with temperatures ranging from 18°C to 29°C. West winds could be as strong as 56 km/h in the afternoon.
– **Ensenada**: Expect intermittent clouds accompanied by light rain, with temperatures from 14°C to 20°C. West winds may gust up to 30 km/h.
– **Tecate**: Cloudy conditions with heavy showers expected. Temperatures will vary between 10°C and 16°C, and winds will be around 38 km/h.
– **La Rumorosa**: Partly cloudy with light rain shifting to thunderstorms later; temperatures between 8°C and 15°C with southwest winds gusting up to 79 km/h at night.
– **Rosarito**: Similar to Tijuana, light rain is expected with occasional early-morning thunderstorms. Temperatures between 14°C and 16°C, with winds up to 29 km/h.
