**Weather Alert: Strong Winds and Cooler Temperatures Hit Baja California**
Baja California is experiencing a significant weather shift, according to the latest update from national meteorological services. Two cold fronts are sweeping in from the northwest and north, mixing with the subtropical jet stream, which is resulting in intense winds, choppy seas, and scattered showers throughout the region.
Residents can expect wind gusts ranging from 50 to 70 km/h across both Baja California and Baja California Sur, strong enough to create dust clouds and potentially reduce visibility on roads and in the air. The west coast faces waves between 1 and 3 meters, posing risks for smaller boats.
Here’s a summary of what key areas might expect:
– **Tijuana**: Partly cloudy with light rains during the day, transitioning to thunderstorms early in the morning. Temperatures will range from 13°C to 17°C, with NW winds reaching up to 30 km/h at night.
– **Mexicali**: Overcast skies with temperatures ranging from 18°C to 29°C. Strong west winds could reach 56 km/h in the afternoon.
