Cold Front 27 Blankets Northern Mexico With Snow as Authorities Report Deaths and Disruptions

Forecasters expect a second front to prolong the deep cold this week.

Overview

  • Mexico’s weather service linked widespread snow and freezing rain in Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, Durango and Zacatecas to Cold Front 27 and its frigid air mass.
  • Two people experiencing homelessness were found dead in central Monterrey, and a 49-year-old woman in Chihuahua died from carbon monoxide poisoning linked to indoor heating.
  • The National Guard activated Plan DN-III-E in Coahuila to secure highways and reduce crash risks on snow- and ice-affected routes.
  • Gusts near 60 km/h closed small-craft navigation for about 6,000 boats off Yucatán, and Progreso halted vendor setups on the malecón as a precaution.
  • The National Meteorological Service said Front 28 with a polar air mass is approaching, likely extending the cold and bringing rain and strong winds across several regions.
