**Baja California Weather Update: Prepare for Strong Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
Residents of Baja California are advised to gear up for an incoming weather system that’s set to shake up the region. Forecasts from the National Water Commission indicate that two cold fronts approaching from the northwest and north are set to converge with the subtropical jet stream. This combination is expected to bring strong winds, rough seas, and sporadic showers throughout the area.
Wind gusts between 50 and 70 km/h are anticipated across both Baja California and Baja California Sur. These gusts could create dust storms and reduce visibility on roads and in the air. The west coast is likely to experience waves between 1 and 3 meters high, posing a risk for smaller watercraft.
Here’s what you can expect in key locations:
