Monday Jan 19: Forecast hinges on Coastal Valleys clouds this afternoon. With clearing mid to weak upper-teens outside strongest Los Barriles south.
Wind Recipe:
1- A tropical disturbance with rain and lightning is about 500 miles south of Cabo, so expect periods of patchy high and medium-level clouds.
2- If these clouds linger over our Coastal Valleys, the winds will be weaker than forecast as they limit heating.
3- The North Pacific High has been ripped apart by Pacific storms, so no wind help from that machine.
4- The 4-Corners region high-pressure wind machine is over Nebraska’s cornfields, so Nada from that machine.
5. Much of our mid-teens+ wind today hinges on clouds, and the model ensemble average cloud forecast is NOT promising.
6- The fickle low-pressure south Cabo will tend focus the wind from Los Barriles south.
La Ventana: Mid to maybe upper-teens IF the clouds stay thin.
El Sargento to Rasta: Mid to possibly upper-teens IF the clouds stay thin. Best near town.
Los Barriles: Mid to maybe upper-teens IF the clouds stay thin.
