Today, front No. 24 will extend over the Yucatan Peninsula, combined with a low-pressure channel over the western Gulf of Mexico, causing heavy to very heavy rains in the northeast, east, southeast, and the Yucatan Peninsula. Showers and isolated rains are also expected in Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Puebla.
Simultaneously, the Arctic air mass associated with the frontal system, interacting with a high-altitude trough and the polar and subtropical jet streams, will maintain a cold wave in northern and northeastern Mexico. This will create conditions for snow, sleet, or freezing rain in the mountainous areas of Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas. Wind gusts of up to 110 km/h with possible dust storms are expected in Baja California, along with strong to very strong wind gusts in the northwest, north, west, and central regions of the country.
Cold to very cold weather is forecasted for the northwest, east, center, and southeast states of Mexico, with freezing conditions in the mountains of Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango, and Coahuila. Northerly winds with gusts of 60 to 80 km/h are expected in the Isthmus and Gulf of Tehuantepec, 50 to 70 km/h in Veracruz, Campeche, Yucatan, and northern Quintana Roo, and 30 to 50 km/h in Tamaulipas and Tabasco. Additionally, waves of 2 to 4 meters high are anticipated along the coasts of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan, northern Quintana Roo, and the Gulf of Tehuantepec.
