¡Buenos dias! An Oceansat satellite pass just after midnight measured W to NW winds of 5-10 knots north and east of Cerralvo. Surface analysis showed a relatively weak high pressure system centered over the 4-corners region of the U.S. this morning, and model forecasts show this feature will remain nearly stationary through Saturday. Although the location of the surface high is favorable for substantial north flow over BCS, the weakness of this feature in model forecasts will likely produce only marginal background north flow today through Saturday, and confidence is low that we’ll see enough to fully trigger our local wind machine. That said, sunny to mostly sunny skies could energize our local thermal just enough to bring rideable conditions so best to be ready just in case. Model forecasts are in good agreement that a ridge of high pressure will build into the central Baja Peninsula on Sunday and may give a boost to the north background flow here. Long-range model forecasts generally agree that the ridge of high pressure to our north will then migrate southward over BCS on Monday into Tuesday, with our winds become more westerly.
