¡Buenos dias! The mountain wave that the HRRR model forecast yesterday did indeed materialize overnight. The highest gust I have seen was 53 mph at Club Cerralvo at 4:39 am, with more sheltered locations right along the beach gusting in the mid 30s. The local mountain wave gusts will diminish this morning and the more widespread norte will also ease up a bit this afternoon. That said, we’ll still see strong to moderate NNW background flow continuing this afternoon, and our local thermal should pull much of the west out of the background flow, especially on southern beaches. Northern beaches will likely continue to see some wind-shadowing and gusty conditions this afternoon. Models are in good agreement that we will see a more typical La Ventana pure thermal day on Tuesday, with good quality side-onshore winds. A light wind regime will then take hold on Wednesday and last through at least Sunday with only light onshore breezes each afternoon.
