¡Buenos dias! Light and variable winds were detected over the southern Sea of Cortez by satellite passes last evening, and all of the most recent model forecasts show light background flow will continue today. North flow will increase a bit on Saturday, but at this point it looks like it’ll fall just short of what is usually needed to trigger our local wind machine. Models are in good agreement that the surface pressure gradient will tighten on Sunday, and with full sunshine expected, we will likely see a windy afternoon. Monday will be another on the fence day, with marginal north background flow. At this point Tuesday looks to be a down day, with model forecasts showing a weak surface pressure gradient over BCS. Long-range forecasts are in good agreement that Pacific high pressure will begin to build into our region Wednesday into Thursday, with NNW bacground flow increasing.
