The National Weather Service reported that northern Mexico is preparing for a day of extreme winter conditions due to the advance of cold front number 31, which will move over the regions of Chihuahua and Durango.
Its interaction with a dry line over Coahuila, a polar trough in the southwest of the United States and the subtropical jet stream will cause strong winds with possible dust storms in the region.
