¡Buenos dias! Well, there’s good news and bad news. First the bad…the wind forecast for today looks significantly lighter. An overnight satellite pass measured light and variable winds over the southern Sea of Cortez, and although some of the latest model forecasts do show the background flow becoming northerly by around midday, significant low cloud cover is expected over the plains this afternoon and that will likley keep our local wind machine from really kicking in. Now the good…models continue to show surface high pressure building into the interior west of the U.S. this weekend, with a tightening surface pressure gradient over BCS. Sufficient north flow is now expected to continue through at least Tuesday, so we should see a nice stretch of kiteable days. Long-range model forecasts disagree, but we may see marginally rideable winds through Thursday…stay tuned.
