The service has also projected temperatures between -5°C and 0°C (23-32°F) in Baja California, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí, Aguascalientes, Jalisco, Guanajuato, Querétaro, Hidalgo, Veracruz, Puebla, Tlaxcala and Mexico State.

Temperatures between 0-5°C (32-41°F) are set for Mexico City, Oaxaca and Chiapas. 

Northern winds above 90km/hr (55mi/hr) and waves of between 1-2 meters (3.2-6.6 feet) are expected for the Tehuantepec Isthmus and Gulf, which covers Veracruz and Oaxaca.

Heavy storms are forecast for Veracruz, Oaxaca, Chiapas and Tabasco, along with rains with shower intervals in Puebla and Campeche, and scattered rains in Tamaulipas, Michoacán, Guerrero, Yucatán and Quintana Roo

The Baja California Peninsula is set to have fairly clear skies during the day but with northern and northeasterly winds of above 50km/hr (31mi/hr) with the possibility of dust storms.
