¡Buenos dias! A partial pass by one of the ASCAT satellites last evening measured light and variable winds over the Sea of Cortez just east of Cerralvo. The latest numerical model forecast runs show north background flow returning around noon, but the wind speed will be very near the minimum threshold to fully activate our local wind machine. It’ll be close, but as was the case yesterday, we may get lucky as see rideable winds for a few hours around midday. Surface high pressure will build into the 4-corners region of the U.S. tomorrow and push a new surge of north flow into our region, and with sunny skies expected, we will see a windy afternoon. Model forecasts are in excellent agreement that a series of high pressure systems will move into the western U.S. over the next several days and keep solid north background flow over the southern Sea of Cortez. There may be some thin, high clouds on Tuesday, but otherwise our local thermal should be in fine form each day as well. Long-range models show a continuation of ample north background flow through next week.
