Wind – January 1, 2025

¡Buenos dias! There were no wind-measuring satellite passes last night, but all of the most recent model forecasts show increasing north flow today. Infrared satellite loops early this morning did show some thin, high clouds in our region, but we should see ample sun as well today and a good thermal boost. Similar conditions are expected on Thursday and Friday as surface high pressure will remain anchored over the interior west of the U.S. Models continue to indicate that a surface trough of low pressure will form over the southwestern U.S. on Saturday, with our winds becoming significantly lighter. Pacific high pressure is then forecast to rapidly build back into the western U.S. on Sunday and send a new pulse of north flow into the southern Sea of Cortez. Ample north background flow should last through Monday, then our winds may become light as a major pattern shift may bring unsettled weather to the Baja Peninsula later next week.
