Clearing Skies and North Winds for Baja California as California returns to Santa Ana Winds

Weather  in Baja California

Surface Chart / Satellite IR

12PM MST 12/01/07 Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season is officially over, and it was a much lighter than normal year. We will have a season wrap up coming soon. Today, Baja skies will clear but winds will increase from the WNW, shifting to the NNW as a High (red arrow) moves closer to SoCal. Winds will follow a Trof (orange arrow) as the High moves closer and winds in The Sea will shift to the NNW and may reach 30kts. Seas are expected to reach 6'. There is a cluster of Highs and Lows (yellow arrow) and a stationary front (magenta arrow) that will give way to the ENE over the next 24-36hrs as the front pushes east. None of these Highs, are particularly strong and the gradient difference is not as significant as those that delivered the early November winds. However, forecasts seem unanimous that winds should increase to 25-30kts from the NNW by Monday throughout the Sea. Hang onto your hats folks!
