Overview
- The National Meteorological Service confirms Front 28 and its polar air mass are now influencing northern Mexico and the Gulf, driving a multi-hazard setup across the country.
- Heavy rain is forecast in Veracruz, Tabasco, Oaxaca and Chiapas, with showers reaching the Yucatán Peninsula and parts of the center, raising risks of flooding and reduced visibility.
- A pronounced Norte will generate dangerous winds, with gusts up to 80–100 km/h in the Isthmus and Gulf of Tehuantepec and 40–60 km/h in Tamaulipas and Veracruz, alongside seas of 4–5 m in Tehuantepec and 2–3 m off Veracruz and Tabasco.
- Highland areas face hard freezes, with lows of −10 to −5 °C in parts of Chihuahua and Durango and sub‑zero temperatures across multiple states; authorities highlight health risks after a carbon‑monoxide fatality reported in Chihuahua.
- Outlook guidance indicates Front 28 will exit into the Caribbean by Friday as Front 29 approaches the northern border over the weekend, likely reinforcing cold air and strong winds.
