Bad weather for Friday the 13th? Authorities warn of winds and snowfall in three states

Mexico's meteorological authorities have issued warnings regarding strong winds and the possibility of snowfall in several states due to a cold front.

Meteorological authorities in Mexico have alerted citizens about the impact of cold front 34, which is expected to affect the northwest and northern regions of the country this Friday. The cold front is forecasted to bring strong to very strong winds, along with rain and showers in these areas, indicating challenging weather conditions that could affect outdoor activities and transportation. Additionally, the authorities have warned of potential snow or sleet in the mountains of Baja California, Sonora, and Chihuahua, prompting residents in these regions to take precautions.

In terms of temperature, the weather forecast indicates severe cold, with temperatures dipping between -10 to -5 °C in the mountainous areas of Chihuahua and Durango, and between -5 to 0 °C in the mountainous regions of Baja California, Sonora, Zacatecas, Hidalgo, Mexico State, and Tlaxcala. Despite these adverse conditions in the north, much of the country is expected to maintain stable weather, characterized by warm to hot afternoon temperatures, driven by a mid-level atmospheric high-pressure system. This contrast highlights Mexico's diverse climatic regions and the varying impacts of the cold front.

Residents in affected areas are encouraged to stay informed about ongoing weather updates and to prepare for potentially hazardous conditions. The implications of such weather events on daily life, travel, and safety in mountainous or exposed regions could be significant, as authorities emphasize the importance of caution and preparedness to mitigate risks associated with severe winter weather.
