¡Buenos dias! An Oceansat satellite pass late last evening measured NW winds of 10 knots over the southern Sea of Cortez, and while the latest batch of model forecasts show the background flow over the Sea of Cortez becoming north and increasing a bit this afternoon, the big wildcard over the next few days will be the amount of cloud cover. A low pressure system centered far to our south near the
Revillagigedo Islands this morning will move slowly northwestward over the next several days and spread mid and upper level cloud cover over BCS. At this point it looks like there will be enough thin spots in the cloud cover for at least a partial thermal today through Monday, but if we see thicker clouds, we will likely see lighter winds. Sunny skies should return by Tuesday, and with ample north background flow forecast to continue through Thursday, we should see our local wind machine in fine form. The surface pressure gradient is then forecast to weaken on Friday, with only light onshore winds expected.
