**Baja California Weather Alert: Prepare for Strong Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Conditions**
As the week kicks off, Baja California residents are advised to brace themselves for challenging weather conditions. The region is currently being impacted by two cold fronts pushing in from the northwest and north. These fronts are merging with the subtropical jet stream, resulting in powerful winds, turbulent seas, and scattered showers, according to the latest update from CONAGUA.
Throughout Baja California and Baja California Sur, wind gusts are expected to range between 50 and 70 km/h. These strong winds are likely to stir up dust, reduce visibility on roads, and affect flights. Meanwhile, the west coast will experience waves ranging from 1 to 3 meters, posing possible risks to smaller vessels. Here is a detailed forecast for key areas:
– **Tijuana**: Partly cloudy with light rainfall during the day, transitioning to thunderstorms by early morning. Temperatures will range from 13°C to 17°C with northwest winds reaching up to 30 km/h at night.
