Cold Front 19 to Sweep Into Northern Mexico on Dec. 7, Bringing Heavy Rains and an Intense 'Norte'

SMN says a polar air mass will drive a fast-moving northeast surge.

Overview

  • Mexico’s national weather service forecasts chubascos and locally heavy rains as the front advances across the northeast and east beginning Sunday.
  • An intense Norte is expected on the Gulf coast, with Tamaulipas and Veracruz forecast to see gusts near 50–70 km/h Sunday night.
  • Very cold conditions are projected in high terrain, with early-morning lows of −10°C to −5°C and frost in the sierras of Chihuahua and Durango.
  • SMN notes a morning window for snow or sleet on Saturday in mountain ranges of Sonora, Sinaloa, Durango and Chihuahua due to Pacific moisture and an upper trough.
  • Local outlooks point to varied impacts, with Cancún rainy and warm near 29–31°C on Saturday while Mexico City stays cool with light rain and a minimum near 9°C.
