¡Buenos dias! A satellite pass last evening measured light and variable winds over the southern Sea of Cortez, and all of the latest numerical model forecasts show light background flow will continue today. Thursday will likely see a brief pulse of north flow, as most of the models show the surface pressure gradient tightening slightly over our region. Light background flow is then forecast to return on Friday and last through Saturday, with only light onshore breezes expected each afternoon. Most of the models continue to be in good agreement that surface high pressure centered over the eastern Pacific will build into BCS on Sunday, and with a tightening surface pressure gradient, we should see a windy afternoon. Similar conditions should last through at least Monday, with a couple of the long-range model forecasts showing sufficient north background flow lasting through next Tuesday.
