Wind – January 25, 2025

¡Buenos dias! Surface analysis this morning shows an elongated area of low pressure has formed to our north…extending from near San Francisco southeastward into eastern Arizona. Circulation around this system has caused our background flow to become very light, and as a result we will likely see only light onshore breezes this afternoon. The latest model forecasts now show a weak ridge of high pressure forming tomorrow just to our north, and we may see just enough north background flow returning to give us a chance for kiteable winds. The wild card tomorrow will be the thickness of high cloud cover, but for now it looks like some filtered sun will make it through. Pacific high pressure is forecast to build into the Baja Peninsula on Monday, with north flow increasing. The amount of high cloud cover will again be a big question both Monday and Tuesday, but if we can get a few breaks in the clouds we should see at least a partial thermal boost each day. Full sunshine is forecast to return on Wednesday, and with a relatively tight surface pressure gradient over BCS, we should see a windy day. Long-range model forecasts show similar conditions are expected both Thursday and Friday.
