**Baja California Weather Alert: Prepare for Strong Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Days**
Baja California is experiencing challenging weather conditions as two cold fronts advance from the northwest and north, according to the latest update from CONAGUA. These fronts are merging with the subtropical jet stream to bring strong winds, rough seas, and scattered showers to the region.
Wind gusts are expected to reach between 50 and 70 km/h across both Baja California and Baja California Sur, potentially causing dust clouds and hindering visibility for drivers and air travel. On the west coast, wave heights between 1 and 3 meters may pose risks for smaller vessels.
Here’s what residents can expect in specific areas:
– **Tijuana**: Partly cloudy with light rain during the day, turning into thunderstorms in the early morning. Temperatures will range from 13°C to 17°C with northwest winds reaching up to 30 km/h at night.
– **Mexicali**: Overcast skies with temperatures from 18°C to 29°C. Strong west winds are likely to peak at 56 km/h in the afternoon.
