¡Buenos dias! A couple of evening passes by the polar orbiting satellites missed BCS, so we’ll have to go solely with the latest batch of numerical model forecasts for today. Although there is some disagreement, a couple of the more reliable models show enough background flow will last through the afternoon, and with sunny skies expected, we should see a windy afternoon. Models continue to show that the surface pressure gradient will weaken substantially tomorrow, and it doesn’t look like we’ll have enough north flow remaining to fully trigger our local wind machine. Surface high pressure from the eastern Pacific is then forecast to build into the Baja Peninsula on Wednesday into Thursday, with solid NNW background flow returning to our region. While models show there may be a substantial west component to this pulse, sunny skies each day should trigger a substantial thermal which will pull the flow onshore. Most of the long-range model forecasts show a quick return to light background flow on Friday into Saturday, but we may see just enough north flow return by Sunday to give us a rideable day.
