¡Buenos dias! An Oceansat satellite pass late last evening measured light and variable winds across the southern Sea of Cortez just east of Cerralvo, but it showed the leading edge of a new push of north flow had made it as far south as Mulege. Model forecasts agree that north background flow will increase here this morning, and with sunny skies expected, we will likely see a windy afternoon. Monday looks to be another windy day, as solid north flow and lots of sunshine continue. Things will change significantly on Tuesday as a strong mid to upper-level low pressure system dives into the Baja Peninsula, then tracks slowly eastward over our region on Wednesday. The large scale flow around this system will produce west background flow in our area, so we will likely see a couple of down days Tuesday and Wednesday. As the system moves eastward on Thursday, surface high pressure will begin to build back into the Baja Peninsula, but there still may be a significant west component to the wind. Model forecasts are in good agreement that solid north flow will return on Friday and continue into Saturday.
