¡Buenos dias! No near real-time satellite wind observations were available this morning, but the latest forecast model runs all show west to southwest flow today. Surface low pressure centered just east of the Bahia de los Angeles this morning will move southeastward into Durango by Thursday morning, and this will allow eastern Pacific high pressure to build into the Baja Peninsula, with north…northwest background flow returning here. Strong surface high pressure centered near the Canadian border on Thursday is forecast to move rapidly southeastward into the southwestern U.S. on Friday, and this will significantly tighten the surface pressure gradient over BCS with norte conditions likely here. The norte will subside a bit on Saturday, but solid north background flow will continue and with sunny skies expected, it should be a windy afternoon. Models show a few high clouds will begin to stream into our region on Sunday, but we will likely see ample sun, and with solid north background flow continuing, another windy day looks likely. At this point Monday looks to be a wild card, as long-range model forecasts show substantial high clouds will move in from the southwest and substantially dampen our local thermal. Clouds should thin on Tuesday and allow our local thermal to once again work its magic.
