¡Buenos dias! Satellite passes last evening measured light southerly winds over the Sea of Cortez near Cerralvo, and all of the latest model forecasts show light and variable winds will continue today. Thick cloud cover will also persist as moisture circulating around a strong mid and upper-level low to our west is drawn up from the southwest. Light rain will likely develop this afternoon and continue tonight as the low approaches BCS. Most of the models show the bulk of the rain will move off to the southast on Friday, but we may see some lingering light rain or sprinkles. The weak surface pressure gradient over our area will begin to tighten a bit on Friday, but cloud cover will significantly dampen our local thermal. Models are in good agreement that north background flow will increase on Saturday, and with the return of mostly sunny skies we should see a windy afternoon. Surface high pressure will continue building into the interior west of the U.S. on Sunday then remain nearly stationary through Wednesday, with solid north background flow. Other that a few thin, high clouds on Tuesday, we should see sunny skies Sunday through Wednesday so our much-missed local thermal will be in fine form.
