*Current Systems

*Surface:* A trough extending from Southern California, USA, to the coast of Jalisco. Cold front number 48 extends from the eastern coast of the United States, reaching south through Texas and northern Coahuila. A dry line is present in eastern Chihuahua, and a trough extends from southern Coahuila to northern Oaxaca

Mid-levels (500 hPa): An anticyclonic circulation centered between Nayarit and Jalisco covers much of Mexic

Upper-levels (200 hPa): Southwest, west, and northwest flows dominate the country, hosting the jet stream, which crosses from Baja California through the northwest, north, and northeast of the country, before entering the Gulf of Mexic

National forecast (next 24 hours): During the day, low-pressure systems over the north and northeast, along with moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and the daytime heat, will produce storms along the northern and northeastern border. Meanwhile, an anticyclonic circulation at mid-levels over central, western, and southern Mexico will limit cloud cover, maintaining very hot weather across most of the countr

Moderate to heavy rains are expected in northeastern Sonora, northwestern and northern Chihuahua, northern Coahuila, northern Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas. Light to scattered showers are expected in the northwest, south, southeast, and the Yucatán Peninsula, especially in Baja California, Baja California Sur, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Campeche, and Quintana Roo. In the rest of the country, including the highlands, western regions, and much of the Gulf of Mexico coast, the probability of rain is low. The extremely hot conditions will continue across much of the country due to the ongoing heat wave. Maximum temperatures of 35 to 40 °C are expected in the north, northeast, central, and southeast regions, and 40 to 45 °C in parts of Sonora, Sinaloa, Chihuahua, Durango, Coahuila, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí, Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán, Guerrero, and Oaxaca. During the night and early morning, minimum temperatures will be mild to cool across most of the country, and cool to cold in the northern mountain regions

Regarding wind, east, south, and southeast winds of 20 to 35 km/h will prevail in the Gulf of Mexico and the Yucatán Peninsula, with gusts of 40 to 60 km/h in the southern Gulf. In northern Mexico, west and southwest winds will prevail with sustained speeds of 25 to 40 km/h and gusts of 65 to 80 km/h, especially in western and northern Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango, and Zacatecas. Along the Pacific coast, winds will be from the west and southwest at 15 to 30 km/h with gusts of 50 to 70 km/h in Baja California, Sinaloa, and the western coas

As the weather systems develop, the advance of a frontal system toward northern, northeastern, and eastern Mexico will allow for a gradual increase in the organization of storms toward the weekend. Meanwhile, an anticyclonic circulation will continue to dominate the rest of the country, maintaining stable atmospheric conditions and the persistence of the heat wave with no significant changes expected in the next 24 hours

*Regional Forecast

*Northern Region (between the Pánuco and Colipa river basins):* Mostly clear, very hot and humid during the day. East and Southeast winds of 20 to 30 km/h with gusts up to 45 km/h. Mild to cool temperatures at night and in the early morning, with occasional fog
