¡Buenos dias! A couple of scatteremeter satellite passes last evening measured light and variable winds and it doesn’t look good according to the newest run of numerical model forecasts for our background flow today. That said, there are some hints in a couple of the models that show the light north background flow hovering at a level just below the typical threshold we see for initiating our local wind machine, so winds could increase a bit and even give the north beaches a couple of hours of marginal winds for this afternoon. The light winds will continue as models are showing a very weak surface pressure gradient tomorrow with only light onshore breezes expected. Surface high pressure will begin to build into the Baja Peninsula from the eastern Pacific on Tuesday, with west to northwest flow increasing. As we discussed yesterday, going into the middle of the week our winds will depend on exactly where an east-west ridge of high pressure sets up over BCS. The latest model runs are in good agreement that the ridge axis will be just to our north, and if this verifies, we will see ample north background flow from Wednesday through Friday. Sunny skies are also expected, so we will likely see a good thermal boost each day. Long-range models show surface high pressure building over the interior west of the U.S. on Saturday, with solid north flow continuing through next weekend.
