¡Buenos dias! Satellite-derived winds of 10-15 knots were noted just east of Cerralvo late last evening, and the latest batch of model forecasts show an E-W oriented ridge of high pressure over the central Baja Peninsula will lead to increasing background flow over our region this afternoon. Model forecasts are in good agreement that the thick cloud cover early this morning will thin by around midday, and mostly sunny skies should give us an added thermal boost this afternoon. The norte is still on track to arrive tomorrow and peak on Saturday as a strong surface high builds into the interior west of the U.S. and the surface pressure gradient over BCS tightens. Models are in excellent agreement that the high will then remain nearly stationary through at least Wednesday, and while norte conditions may ease on Sunday, we will likely see a stretch of very windy days into the middle of next week.
