¡Buenos dias! The wind yesterday was substantially less than I forecast, with winds languishing in the 12-14 mph range, then finally peaking from 2-3:30 at around 15-18 mph at the campground and 18-20 mph at Rasta. As opposed to yesterday, today’s model forecasts are unanimous that there will be sufficient north background flow to help trigger our wind machine. Infrared satellite images early this morning showed another sunny day ahead, so a solid thermal boost is likely this afternoon. The forecast reasoning remains intact for the rest of the upcoming week, as models are in unusually good agreement that we will see ample north background flow again on Friday, then as surface high pressure builds into the western U.S., the pressure gradient will tighten over BCS with winds increasing on Saturday. Norte conditions look likely on Sunday before diminishing on Monday. Just enough north flow may remain on Tuesday to give us one more rideable day before a light wind regime takes shape over BCS. Extended range models show light winds may then last for almost a week.
