¡Buenos dias! The wind gauges at Rasta and the campground yesterday showed the direction of the wind remained essentially due north for much of the afternoon, and reports indicated much improved wind quality at Rasta from the wind-shadowed conditions experienced on Wednesday (thanks for the report D.A.). The latest model forecasts show the large surface high draped over much of western Canada and the U.S. will stay parked over that region through much of the upcoming week and maintain enough north background flow through at least Wednesday to help jump-start our local wind machine. There will be times of some thin, high clouds, but models have been trending sunnier over the last several runs, so it looks like we will get substantial thermal boosts each day. Long-range forecasts show that the surface pressure gradient may begin to weaken on Thursday, but just enough remnant north flow could remain to give us one more rideable day.
