**Baja California Weather Advisory: Get Ready for Gusty Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
Baja California is starting the week on a stormy note as per the latest forecast from the national weather service. Two cold fronts, advancing from the northwest and north, are interacting with the subtropical jet stream to produce high winds, turbulent seas, and scattered showers across the region.
Residents should prepare for wind gusts between 50 and 70 km/h throughout Baja California and Baja California Sur.
