¡Buenos dias! Evening passes by a couple of polar-orbiting weather satellites measured NNW winds of 15 knots over the Sea of Cortez near Cerralvo. While all of the most recent model forecasts show solid NNW background flow for today, the surface high has moved a bit to the west since yesterday, and this may produce more of a west component this afternoon, particularly at northern beaches, with gusty, wind-shadowed conditions possible. The surface high to our north is forecast to return to a postion near the 4-corners region of the U.S. on Saturday, and this should give us more of a due north flow with cleaner winds. The forecast for next week sounds like a broken record…but a good one…as models are in good agreement that a ridge of high pressure will set up over the northern Baja Peninsula and keep solid north flow coming through Thursday. Some thin, high clouds will likely stream overhead from time to time, but they shouldn't significantly affect our local thermal.
