¡Buenos dias! The wind gauge at the campground yesterday showed fairly consistent winds…peaking at 17-19 mph with gusts into the low to mid 20s from around noon until just after 4 pm, while some remaining west component produced winds at Rasta that were less consistent and wind-shadowed. Model forecasts show a strong surface high pressure system centered over northern Idaho this morning will build southeastward over the next several days, with low-end norte conditions developing today and likely continuing through Monday. Although ample north flow will likely remain over BCS on Tuesday, circulation around a low pressure system far to our west will bring thickening cloud cover into our region and at least partially dampen our local thermal. Clouds and even a few light showers are likely for Wednesday, with only light winds expected. Models disagree on timing, but at this point it looks like the bulk of the clouds will move off to the east on Thursday, and with enough north background flow forecast to remain, we should see a rideable afternoon. Long-range models are in good agreement, showing a ridge of high pressure remaining far enough to our north on Friday and Saturday to keep just enough north flow over BCS to combine with mostly sunny skies and bring us windy afternoons.
