**Baja California Weather Alert: Prepare for Strong Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
As the week kicks off in Baja California, residents and visitors should brace themselves for challenging weather conditions. The latest update from CONAGUA indicates that two cold fronts approaching from the northwest and north are mixing with the subtropical jet stream, bringing intense winds, turbulent seas, and scattered showers across the region.
Expect wind gusts ranging between 50 to 70 km/h in both Baja California and Baja California Sur. These strong winds could create dust clouds, posing a challenge to visibility on roads and in the skies. Along the west coast, waves are expected to reach heights of 1 to 3 meters, putting smaller vessels at risk.
**Here’s what to anticipate in key areas:**
– **Tijuana:** Partly cloudy with light daytime rain and early morning thunderstorms. Temperatures range from 13°C to 17°C, with NW winds up to 30 km/h at night.
