¡Buenos dias! After another 5+ hours of great conditions yesterday, today will be a rest day as a satellite pass late last evening confirmed model forecasts of relatively light background flow over the southern Sea of Cortez. Models show a weak surface high will begin to build into the western U.S. on Friday, but it looks like only marginal northeast flow at best will reach us. The surface high is forecast to move into the 4-corners region on Saturday, and this should tighten the surface pressure gradient over BCS just enough to jump start our local wind machine. Model forecasts are in good agreement that sufficient north background flow should then last for several days as a weak ridge of high pressure remains to our north. Long-range forecasts indicate that winds may become marginal again by next Wednesday.
