Winds are greatest during the overnight and early morning hours with the assistance of the nocturnal drainage flow. A strong and much broader gale event across the Tehuantepec area is expected late Mon through Tue. Farther north, a weak cold front will approach Baja California Norte Fri, before stalling and dissipating.
