After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning in the 24 hour loop mode of the NOAA’s NESDIS satellite I can see that big honk’n Pacific storm moving down the west coast. The extreme southern edge is sending scattered clouds over the northern end of the Sea from about San Filipe to Puerto Panesco this morning.
The rest of the Sea looks to be pretty much free of any clouds.
Looking south to the Riviera this morning it does not look like any cloudiness will occur along the Mexican Riviera today.
Looking further to the south to the Gulf of Tehuantepec where winds in the gulf have diminished to the 20-25 knot ranges overnight and are expected to be below 20 knots by this afternoon. Winds will be pulsing through the isthmus for the next several days however they should remain at or below 25 knots.
Not a lot going on along the ITCZ or out in the Eastern Pacific Basin this morning so looking now back to the north and the west coast of America where the headline weather news is that big honk’n low moving down the west coast. It is currently about 250 miles off the coast and is forecast to be within 100 miles by later today.
It is currently dropping snow in the Sierras. Lake Tahoe is forecast to have snow every day until Sunday.
California foothills should see snow down to 2500-3000 feet today.
The leading edge should arrive in southern California later today and is forecast to bring rain and mountain snow to southern California.
Tomorrow this cold winter storm will continue to move east and Arizona is forecast to have desert rain and mountain snow. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter storm advisory and a high wind watch for southwest Arizona. Blowing snow could provide blizzard conditions with winds forecast to be as high as 60 mph as the leading edge of the front approaches later today and moves through tomorrow.
Checking my crystal ball and the models it looks like tomorrow we will be seeing some cloudiness to as far as Santa Rosalia, with the possibility of rain to the north of Santa Rosalia and Guaymas on the Sonoran side.
We’ll see. We should start to see some whispys arriving to as far a Concepcion Bay later this morning.
So we have wintery conditions to the north of us and spring springing down here in Baja. We will be have one more day of southerlies before returning to our normal spring northerlies.
With all that being said, none of the models agreed this morning about the winds in the northern Sea for tomorrow. As a result I am a bit iffy about the direction and the speed for the northern Sea tomorrow afternoon. It sort of depends on how fast this cold front to the north of us passes off to the east. We’ll see.
So mostly sunshine for Baja and the Riviera today with spring like conditions. Pleasant southerlies and temps in the mid to high 80s today.

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning satellite imagery is showing the Sea to be free of any clouds.
Looking south to the Mexican Riviera I can see that there are no clouds in their future today. Well, a few whispys in the Acapulco area but that is it.
Looking further south to the Tehuantepec this morning’s ASCAT pass showed gale force winds in the Gulf of Tehuantepec. These are forecast to diminish below gale force later this morning and be around 20K by tomorrow night.
Looking further south to the ITCZ for any signs of a Pineapple Express I can see that there is moderate convections along the ITCZ however there is no jet support to transport this moisture off the ITCZ.
Looking out into the Eastern Pacific Basin I can see just a few whispys between here and Hawaii this morning.
So with not much going on down here looking north now to the west coast of America where a cold Pacific storm is staged to bring rain and snow to California and the southwest.
The first impulse is now over San Francisco where they are forecast to have thunderbumpers and possible hail by this afternoon. Snow levels will start dropping and by tomorrow the sierra foothills to 2500 ft should see a blanket of snow.
The storm will sag south and by tomorrow evening this storm will arrive in southern California bringing widespread rain, thunderbumpers and possible waterspouts and funnel clouds to as far south as San Diego. Snow levels will be about 3500 ft in the southland.
As the storm moves into the southwest on Thursday temps will drop as much as 15 degrees from today. Thursday afternoon thunderbumpers, rain and snow are forecast for south central Arizona.
Not a lot of rain is forecast and the snow levels starting around 7000 ft. The major effect of the front is that the low will be very low and the gradient will be causing very gusterly conditions in the southwest with gusts to 40 mph.
Friday there will be some isolated thunderbumpers in the Tucson area as the storm moves off to the east and the front will have exited the area by Friday night. This weekend high pressure fills in the basin again bringing the warmer temps back.
Late Wednesday into Thursday the far northern portion of the Sea could see some showers. We’ll see.
Meantime back down here in Baja the entire Sea will be seeing a couple of days of winds with a southern flavor. These could be brisk as times.
However lots of sun and warming temps will also be with us for the first part of Semana Santa.
It’s starting to fill in here at the beach. Most patches of sand now have some form of tent over it. The kids are in the 65 degree water all day and the jet skies sound like a swarm of bees. The aroma of beach cooking fills the air. Lots of folks have a great time. I noticed that the carnival has arrived at Santispac yesterday afternoon. I always look forward to taking my aggressions out in the bumper cars. It’s sort of therapy.

Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can’t see any clouds in or around the Sea.
Looking south to the Riviera I can’t see any clouds there either.
Looking out into the Eastern Pacific Basin I can see a lot of scattered clouds. The west/east flow is pretty light and I would doubt that any of these clouds will drift toward Baja much today.
So it looks like the Sea and the Riviera will have abundant sunshine all day.
Looking south to the Tehuantepec where winds are forecast to fluctuate up and down around 20 knots in the gulfs of Papagayo and Panama through Wednesday morning a new cold front that has passed through the gulf of Mexico has ushered in another Tehuantepecker with northerly gale force winds into the gulf of Tehuantepec. They will reach almost storm force winds by this afternoon and diminish to gale force by tomorrow afternoon.
That’s about it for down here so looking north now to the west coast of America where from San Francisco north they will be getting wet starting later this morning as the first wave of showers is arriving on the north coast out ahead of the approaching cold front. This is the first of a series of systems that will be directed to the coast courtesy of that big honk’n low that I mentioned that has moved out of the Gulf of Alaska this morning. Tonight the second wave will arrive on the coast and guided by a 170 mph jet stream it will sink south and southern California and the southwest will see some valley and desert rain and mountain snow starting tomorrow.
In the meantime in the southwest strong high pressure aloft will bring dry conditions and much warmer temps today and tomorrow. Wednesday this strong Pacific low is forecast to arrive bringing considerably cooler temps and a chance, actually a good chance of desert rain and snow in the higher elevations of Arizona.
In the meantime back here in Baja we will be practicing our Howl at the moon howls for the full moon tonight.

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can’t see any clouds at all.
Looking south to the Riviera, same thing. No Clouds
Looking further south to the ITCZ there is not even a lot of convections building there.
Looking over at the Tehuantepec where a cold front moving across the NW half of the Gulf of Mexico has moved into the Bay of Campeche resulting in northerly winds funneling through the gulf of Tehuantepec at 20-25 knots during the night and will increase during the day to almost gale force winds before gradually beginning to diminish by tonight.
So no clouds, no storms, just a quickie Tehuantepecker is the only thing going on in the Sea or along the Riviera today.
So looking now to the north to the west coast of America where in general high pressure blankets the western conus.
That being said skies are still cloudy from the series of systems that have moved out of California into the Great Basin where it is currently snowing in the Salt Lake area.
High pressure is filling in and building behind these storms and this morning the bar behind the eastward moving front is ballpark 1016. That weak 1006 low I mentioned earlier that is just moving out of southern California into Arizona has created a fairly tight gradient and is producing some gusterly conditions as it is passing through the southwest.
As the pressure builds in the basin and the gradient tightens between here and there we can expect to see this weekend with very gusterly conditions in the northern and central Sea. Sunday will see the strongest winds and they will be in the 30 knot ranges for the central Sea.
Before leaving the west coast I should mention that next week another series of storms will impact California and the Great Northwest. I can see a big honker just starting to move out of the Gulf of Alaska this morning. More rain and snow are in store for northern California in the later portion of next week.
OK, back to Baja: Today’s winds will be about like yesterday. Say the moderate ranges. Tomorrow the winds a big higher and then Sunday it looks like it will be big-time ugly in the northern and central Sea and gusterly in the southern portion. So enjoy today.
Today also looks like the last day to make any sort of a comfortable northern crossing for the next several days. There are cruisers in both crossing that are reporting very nice conditions this morning.
This might be a good day to look around for a place to sit out a three day blow if you are in the central or northern Sea.
I will have company coming to the beach this weekend…about 1500 Mexicans here for Semana Santa. I expect to see a lot of small dome tents blowing around.

The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning it looks like most of the Sea is clouds free. Looking over toward Hawaii I can see a light plume of scattered clouds drifting toward Baja. It looks like these are a mix of fluffys and whispys and some of these will pass over during the day between Loreto and San Filipe.
That being said the Sea will be seeing mostly sunshine today.
Looking south to the Riviera and in general the rest of the Eastern Pacific Basin, there are now clouds in the area.
Looking south to the Tehuantepec: A cold front off the Texas coast will be moving through the Gulf of Mexico. High pressure behind the front will produce moderate to strong winds through the isthmus by tomorrow, however today will be in the 15 knot ranges.
Looking further south I can see there is not much convection developing along the ITCZ this morning. As spring approaches we won’t be seeing much more of the Pineapple Express until next fall. Perhaps a couple of more weeks.
That’s about it for our hood so looking north to the west coast of America where there is a series of weak systems that will move inland today and tomorrow.
Well off to the west there is another honker out there that should arrive sometime next week and bring more unsettled weather to northern California and the Great Northwest next week.
Meantime, the system currently moving out of northern California is currently over the northern Sierras dropping snow in Lake Tahoe today and tonight. As it moves to the east it will briefly nudge the high out the Great Basin.
I just received an email from a friend of mine in the Sierra foothills saying the snow was falling on the dogwood blossoms that always signals the arrival of spring for the Sierras.
The following system, now just off the Oregon coast will also keep the basin in the 1016 ranges until it moves through the area on Saturday. High pressure will then fill in again and gusterly conditions are forecast to accompany the increased gradient.
Meantime back here in Baja today, actually today and tomorrow we will be having moderate winds in the Sea. Temps in the low to mid 80s. along with lots of sunshine.
Saturday we will be having a wind event and then Sunday the gradient will start to equalize and the winds will abate to probability less than 20 knots. We’ll see.

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that those clouds we had yesterday morning moved off to the east by early yesterday afternoon and the Sea has been pretty much clear of any serious clouds since. I can see some isolated fluffys and whispys here and there and over off the west coast of the peninsula where I expected to see fog along the coast it looks like that is clear as well.
Looking south to the Riviera I can see a very light Pineapple Express plume passing over from about Puerto Vallarta to Manzanillo. I can see that a rather heavy band of clouds passed over during the night but there is not much behind it and I would expect that that area will only see some whispys today.
Looking south to the Tehuantepec: No advisories through Friday with winds less than 20 knots.
Taking a look further south to the ITCZ this morning I can see mostly just moderate convection. The plume of clouds moving toward the Riviera emanates from around 120.
There is another plume of clouds that is streaming toward the northern California coast from out about 140.
And looking north now to the west coast of America I can see a low off the northern California coast that these clouds will be loading with subtropical moisture. This low and associated cold front are forecast to arrive on shore tomorrow bringing rain from the Bay Area and central Sacramento valley north to Seattle on Thursday and Friday. There will be several impulses of this weak storm and they will move off to the east into the Great Basin late Thursday and Friday briefly lowering the pressure over the basin.
In the meantime the southern California should remain warm and dry today.
The southwest will see a drier westerly flow move into the region for the remainder of the week. This will result in dry conditions with seasonal temps warming up above normal into this weekend. Tucson should be in the 80s by Sunday.
Back down here it looks like the Sonoran coast and the central Sea will see the bulk of today winds. The Sonoran coast will see winds in the 26-28 knot ranges while the central Sea will see 18-21 knot northerlies this afternoon.
Otherwise a very pleasant day with lots of sun and warming temps.

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see a lot of clouds. The heaviest are in the far northern Sea and southwest Arizona right now. These clouds are moisture laden and I have already had several sprinkles here at my palapa early this morning and several reporting stations in the northern and central Sea have reported light showers... These don’t looks like thunderbumpers just cumulous with dark bottoms.
When I put the satellite in the 24 hour animated mode I can see that the northern and central Sea have been having clouds pass over most of the night. It the pattern remains the same it looks like these clouds should pass off to the east by late this morning or early afternoon.
Looking to the southern Sea I can see that some fluffys have been passing over that area as well during the night and it looks like most will have exited to the east by mid morning.
Looking south to the Riviera right now it looks like they are pretty much cloud free right now, however there is a lot of convection building along the ITCZ around 110-120 that will be drifting toward southern Mexico and it looks like the first whispys will be arriving this morning from about Cabo Corrienties south.
Looking now at the Tehuantepec the Tehuantepecker has diminished to below gale force winds last night and are expected to be below 20 knots by tonight.
That’s it for our hood so looking north now to the west coast of America where we have two systems working on the southwest this morning. The cold front that has dropped down into the Great Basin and the low just arriving in the southwest this morning from southern California. Later on this afternoon they will merge and move off to the east tonight.
Meantime there is a good possibility of some showers even some mountain snow over 7000 ft for Arizona today. The Sea can also expect to see some, at least, sprinkles from this system.
As I have mentioned this system extends south well into the Sea and will also be moving east as the day wears on. I would expect that most of the cloudiness will be gone by this afternoon.
The bar over the western conus will fill in with moderate high pressure in the 1016 ranges as these systems clear the area.
The rest of the week looks like fair weather over most of the west with only a weak low moving into northern California on Wednesday and the trailing front could bring a chance of rain to the bay area Wednesday night and possibly Thursday morning.
Back down here in Baja, once this system moves off to Sonora later this morning we should start to enjoy a period of spring weather. The temperatures here in Concepcion Bay will average 84 degrees for the remainder of the month according my chicken feathers and crystal ball.
Wind wise the southern Sea winds will have a southern flavor today and the rest of the Sea will see light to moderate northerlies.
It shaping up to be a very pleasant week.

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that all the action is out in the Pacific.
Yesterday’s forecast was for a subtropical plume to move into northern California this morning bringing some rain and mountain snow. Well the plume never read the forecast and never made it to northern California instead it hooked a right at Ensenada yesterday morning and instead of moving east or northeast it has hooked further south and now as I look down at the Sea I can see scattered clouds from San Filipe south to a bit short of La Paz this morning.
If the plume continues that way it has for the past 24 hours it will soon slip further to the south and envelope the cape and the northern Riviera. We’ll see.
Looking now to the Riviera. It is currently pretty much clear of any clouds and looking over towards the Socorros I can see just a few isolated fluffys in the area.
Looking further to the south to the Tehuantepec where a short lived Tehuantepecker is brewing. Gale force winds should end early tomorrow and be below 20K by tomorrow night.
Looking further south to the ITCZ I can see that there is not a lot of convection building along the ITCZ this morning. That plume aimed at Baja this morning is originating out about 140 and there is not a lot of moisture in that area.
So that’s about it for our hood so looking north to the west coast of America where there are just a few clouds over the western conus and some fog along the west coast but in general the west is forecast to have warming temps today with the only place to have a hint of any rain will be from this plume of clouds off the Baja coast. Say San Diego and Ensenada, perhaps the Turtle Bay area.
The next system to reach California is as I mentioned about 800 miles west of San Diego this morning. It will move east into the southwest later this evening and tomorrow and into New Mexico on Wednesday opening the door to a slight chance of showers along the way as it moves east.
There is another weak system that will be moving through the Great Northwest early this week however it will stay well to the north and not have much effect on the weather in the Great Basin or the southwest.
OK, for today we have this plume with a mix of whispys and fluffys, heavy on the fluffys, passing over most of the Baja peninsula. It looks like there is a good chance that it will completely pass over by tomorrow morning. Again, we’ll see.
So for today it looks like we will see some cloudiness along with light winds. Highs today should be in the mid to low 80s,

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
. Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that at the present time it is pretty much free of any clouds.
That being said, looking out into the Eastern Pacific Basin I can see a long plume of clouds moving up from that area of convections about 140 along the ITCZ directly toward California. This was actually forecast. What was not forecast was for the plume to hook a hard right at Ensenada and curl the southern edge of this plume toward the northern Sea. So it looks like the far northern Sea will be seeing some cloudiness today, perhaps a shower. We’ll see.
Moving up from the sub tropics this plume is full of moisture and the forecast was for this to drop some rain in northern California to the Canadian border with some snow in the higher elevations today.
Sometimes you just can’t trust Mother Nature. This morning she turns out to be hooker. That was a tacky joke so I better move on.
OK, It looks like from about Mag Bay north to La La Land there is a thick heavy fog bank hugging the coast.
Looking now to the south I can see a very light plume of clouds moving off the ITCZ sort of toward Zihuatanejo but that is it for any cloudiness along the Riviera.
Looking now over to the Socorros I can’t see any clouds in the area.
Looking now south to the Tehuantepec I can see a strong cold front crossing the Gulf of Mexico this morning. This is forecast to force north winds across the isthmus into the gulf of Tehuantepec with gale force winds expected until tomorrow midday. The wind event should diminish rapidly early Monday.
That’s about it for down here so looking north now to the west coast of America where I would normally bring up the National Weather Service All products reports to verify what I am looking at. Well this morning the reports were not coming up for some reason so I’ll sort of wing it.
I can see the plume and associate low moving into northern California. This is a weak system and by tonight it will be off to the east into the Great Basin.
For southern California the southern edge of this plume is hooking into the Sea of Cortez and I can see clouds over San Filipe and Puerto Penasco right now and it looks like the plume will drift east, perhaps northeast rather than south so the rest of the Sea will most likely be cloud free today. As I mentioned there is some moisture in these clouds so a sprinkle or two is entirely possible.
Looking north to the north in the Great Basin that Pacific storm will push the high pressure to the east and by tomorrow the bar should be in the say 1016 ranges and that will relax the gradient between here and cause these brisk northerly to abate.
Back down here today on this second day of spring it will be a bit gusterly in the sea. Most of the Sea has been seeing 15-25 knot winds since midnight.
All along the Sonoran coast south to almost Mazatlan the winds will be in the 20-30 knot ranges.
On this side of the pond the northern and central will see ballpark 25 knots today and the southern Sea say 15-18 north westerlys. The Riviera around 11-14 today.
Today’s Baja’s high temps should be in the low to mid 80s and the Riviera about the same.

The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea on this first day of Spring this image looks just like yesterday with no clouds in the Sea or along the Riviera. Looking out to the Socorros I and see that most of the clouds moving up from the ITCZ are drifting well to the south of the islands.
The ITCZ this morning is continuing to produce a moderate amount of convections however the southern jet is well to the north and pretty much on a line from Hawaii to the Baja peninsula so it is not picking up any moisture from along the ITCZ this morning.
There is however some scattered fluffys out in the basin that are moseying along with the west-east flow and portions of the Riviera could see a wet fluffy or two pass over with a slight possibility of a sprinkle.
Looking now south to the Tehuantepec where a cold front across the Gulf of Mexico will be forcing strong winds across the isthmus into the Gulf of Tehuantepec by tomorrow morning. Models indicate that the wind event will be short lived as the pressure in the Gulf of Mexico quickly moves off to the east and winds veer southeast.
Not much else going on down here so looking north to the west coast of America where building high pressure over the Great Basin will keep the Sea of Cortez a bit lumpy over the weekend.
Looking north to the Gulf of Alaska I can see the next system swirling out there and it is forecast to arrive in the Great Northwest late Sunday. This will pressure the high over the west to move off to the east and by Monday the gradient between here and the Great Basin should be somewhat equalized.
Meantime back here south of the border the Sonoran coast will be seeing 25-30 knot winds today. The Baja east coast all the way to the East Cape looks like 18-22 knot winds this afternoon. Perhaps a bit less in some locations a bit more in others.
Tomorrow the central Sea aka the northern crossing will see winds a bit stronger than today then Monday the winds will be back to the moderate ranges for the entire Sea.
Of note on this first day of spring here in el Burro Cove the sunrise temp was the highest sunrise temp of the year so far, so perhaps Spring is really starting to spring and I can take the liner out of my SpeedO.

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can’t see and clouds, however looking over to the west coast of the peninsula with NOOA’s fog loop image it looks like there is a heavy fog bank hugging the coast from about San Diego to Mag Bay this morning.
Looking south to the Riviera I can see where a 70 knot jet is picking up a few scattered clouds in the basin and sending them directly over the Socorros toward Cabo Corrienties and Manzanillo this morning.
Looking south to about 7 north where the ITCZ is this morning I can see a lot of convection building out about 140. The jet is still to the north of this convection and not picking much of the moisture. It looks this will continue today with the jet not forecast to move to the south today.
Looking now at the Tehuantepec where strong N winds in the Gulf will weaken tonight only to return with a vengeance, likely at gale force by tomorrow night.
That’s it for down here so looking north now to the west coast of America where there is potential for some interesting weather this afternoon in the southwest as a strong trough swings through Arizona. This rather vigorous system stretches from near Las Vegas to near Los Angeles. This is a moisture starved storm with only a few clouds evident. The trough and associated cold front are forecast to progress southeast though the region.
The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for the lower Colorado River valley with gusts to 45 mph.
There is a slight chance of some thunderbumper activity over most of Arizona today.
As the storm exits the area high pressure will again fill in over the weekend.
The rest of the western conus can expect to see warming temps and lots of sun today.
Back down here much the same. Lots of sun with temps in the mid 80s for Baja and the Riviera.
Wind-wise for today: Concepcion bay is sort of on the cusp of north/south winds today so I would not be surprised to see southern winds this morning in Concepcion Bay area. That being said the forecast is for the northern and central Sea should see moderate northerlies and the south Sea will see moderate southerlies. Tomorrow as that front moves out of the southwest the gradient will be much greater and the winds will increase and the Sea will be uncomfortable in most locations.

The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that with the exception of some patchy fog along the west coast of the peninsula the skies are clear.
Looking south to the Mexican Riviera I can see that there has been a few fluffys passing over in the past 24 hours but in general the skies have been clear and look like the Riviera will be seeing abundant sunshine today.
Looking now south to the Tehuantepec where there is a nice Tehuantepecker brewing there. The gale force winds should abate late tomorrow.
Looking now at the ITCZ: Out about 140 along 7 north I can see the convections building again. The southern jet is a bit to the north and will not be picking up any of the moisture in this area. If the pattern continues the way is has for the past month the convection will continue to build there and the jet will dip south probably tomorrow and start picking up the moisture laden clouds and voile, we have a Pineapple Express. We’ll see.
Looking out toward Hawaii this morning it is pretty much clear with the exception of some whispys near the islands this morning.
So that’s about it for our hood so looking now north to the west coast of America where well out in the Pacific I can see the next series of storms approaching the Great Northwest. They should start arriving early next week.
In the meantime with the exception of a fast moving cold front moving through the Great Basin this morning high pressure is still dominate over most of the western conus.
Someone told me the other day they could not find conus in the dictionary. I looked and sure enough it was not there. The term is normally used in weather applications. It is an acronym for continental United States. Now you know.
I digress and back to what’s going on up north. As that cold front moves through northern California into the Great Basin today the strong gradient will cause gusterly conditions in the upper Sacramento valley to 40 mph today.
Southern California will see some fog along the coast through the weekend along will sunshine inland and warm temps.
The southwest will continue to see high pressure and above normal temps today. Tomorrow a weak cold front will move through the area cooling things off a bit then high pressure will retune on Saturday and warm things back up.
In general today through the weekend should be pleasant weather in the western conus. Starting next week a series of systems will impact the west coast cooling thing back down again. Spring is not quite ready to spring.
Back down here today we will be seeing brisk southerlies in the northern and central Sea and moderate southerlies in the southern Sea. Abundant sunshine is on tap for the Sea and the Riviera today.

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can’t see any clouds. Looking south to the Riviera I can see a few remnant clouds from the Pineapple Express passing over.
The Pineapple Express is pretty much dried up this morning and with no convections building along the ITCZ there is not a lot of moisture for the southern jet to transport.
Looking further south to the Tehuantepec the gale force winds are expected to start this morning as strong high pressure builds over the western Gulf of Mexico and tightens the gradient over southern Mexico. This Tehuantepecker is forecast to persist through tomorrow.
So no clouds to speak of in the Sea or along the Riviera and only a brief Tehuantepecker brewing further south thing are pretty quiet in our hood this morning.
So looking north now to the west coast of America where there is not a lot going on up there weather wise either.
There is a weak system moving into central California that will just be a cloud producer. The same for a small system moving into southern California.
Looking further north: There is another weak system moving through the Great Northwest with little chance of any rain coming form it just a bit of cooling.
Looking over at the Great Basin: It will remain dry under high pressure today and then tomorrow that system in the Great Northwest will pass through dropping the bar a little and then rebuilding Saturday after it passes. No rain or snow is forecast to accompany this system.
Looking now to the southwest where high pressure and above normal temps will continue through tomorrow when a fast moving cold front will move through the region on Friday and Saturday with just a small chance of any rain to the east of Phoenix. High pressure will fill in behind the system into the weekend with another warming trend.
Pretty dull day weather-wise so far: No storms of any kind, just a few clouds over the entire western conus
South of the border, back in our hood, about the same thing. It looks like we will have moderate winds in most locations today and then southern winds starting tomorrow into the weekend.
Daytime highs will reach 80 degrees in many locations today.
The El Burro Chamber of Commerce gives today 5 stars.

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that the Sea of Cortez is pretty much cloud free.
Looking at the Mexican Riviera this morning I can see that the Pineapple Express has pretty much exhausted itself. This morning the Riviera from Puerto Vallarta to Manzanillo will see some cloudiness but it looks like by this afternoon the very broken and scattered plume will have passed over and there are clear skies behind it.
Looking south to the Tehuantepec where we have a Tehuantepecker in the brewing stages. By tomorrow morning the winds will be gale force.
Looking further south to the ITCZ: I can see that there is very little convection building all along the ITCZ this morning. Just a few clouds here and there.
Looking out toward Hawaii I can see some high whispys and that’s about it for the Eastern Pacific Basin.
So looking now north to the west coast of America where off the west coast of northern California I can see the long plume of a rather mild system getting ready to drop a little rain from about Eureka to the Canadian border today.
Other than that the entire western conus is under a blanket of building high pressure. The 4 corners area is about 1032. Along the US/Mexican border the bar is in the 1025 ranges. The surface chart was showing a 1006 low off to the east behind Manzanillo this morning.
The Grib/Coamp files are showing the Sea to be 1020 in the north and around 1013 at the cape and 1010 along the Riviera this morning and the data from the Real Time stations is in agreement with the Sea pretty much 1019-1017 dropping to 1013 at the cape and 1010 along the Riviera.
Many of the sunrise temps this morning were up as much as 10 degrees up from yesterday morning and the highs today will be pushing 80 in the Sea.
So it looks like we are seeing the first signs of spring springing with Easter only three weeks away. Today should be the last day of these brisk northerlies with light to moderate northerlies for the rest of the week.

The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see a few whispys in the northern and central Sea but not fluffys at all. It looks like they will see mostly sunshine today.
From La Paz south to about Zihuatanejo the Pineapple Express is sending a mix of fluffys and whispys over the area.
The southern jet has weakened some and is about 100 knots this morning and moved a bit to the east. I can see that there is not a lot of convection building along the ITCZ this morning so most of the moisture in the Pineapple Express it has picked up along the way.
Water vapor imagery is showing some wet cells in the plume so a shower of two is possible today.
Looking south to the Tehuantepec it looks like the next wind event should begin late tomorrow night as high pressure builds across the Sierra Madre Occidentals (for the geographically challenged that’s a mountain range that runs north/south from central Mexico into northern Mexico)
I degrees. High pressure is building over northern and central Mexico will provide enough gradient to usher in 20-30 knot winds into the Tehuantepec gulf and possible reach gale force by Wednesday.
Taking a quick peak out into the Eastern Pacific Basin I can see mostly a few whispys between here and Hawaii this morning.
That’s about it for down here so looking north now to the west coast of America where high pressure is the headliner today.
I can see that system that moved through the Great Basin yesterday is not spinning over New Mexico and west Texas.
I can see a rather weak system moving into the Great Northwest this morning that will provide a shower or two before moving off to the east tonight.
The rest of the conus is forecast have lots of sun and warm up until late in the week.
There will be several weak systems that will move through the upper portion of the Great Basin later in the week but will most likely not have any affect on the weather in the southwest. Clean skies and a warming trend are forecast up into next weekend.
Here in Baja today and tomorrow we will be having brisk northerlies. Lots of sun and the temps should rise a few degrees.
The cape area and the Riviera will see a blanket of Pineapple Express over them for most of the day.

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
. Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see the Pineapple Express has been picking up moisture along the way from the ITCZ to Baja. Not a lot of convection along the ITCZ this morning. The plume has a lot more moisture than yesterday morning. The plume has slipped a bit to the south and the extremes are about Lorteto to Manzanillo this morning. Looking closely it looks like there are a few stragglers’ over Concepcion Bay.
What it looks like to me is that this area will see a small mix of fluffys in with mostly whispys today. I can see some cells that will have dark bottoms so a sprinkle or two is certainly possible.
Looking south: There are no advisories for the Tehuantepec for the next 24 hours.
Further south, as I mentioned, there is not a lot of developing convection along ITCZ this morning. The southern wing of the jet stream is now transporting this plume toward Baja at about 120 mph this morning.
That’s about it for down here so looking now north to the west coast of America where the coast is mostly clear this morning north to Washington state where a weak front is bringing rain to the Great Northwest this morning.
Southern California under building high pressure will start to warm up a bit through mid week.
Off to the southwest , well first looking at the Great Basin. This image is showing a very cold low system swirling over the 4 corners area right now slowly moving off the east. Snow advisories have been issued by the National Weather Service for the 4 corners region for today.
This system is dipping down into central Arizona and it looks like it has just passed through Phoenix. Any snow or rain will limited to the northern portions of Arizona today.
Back down here today the northern and central Sea will see mostly sunshine.
As far as the winds today. The annual Mulegé Yellowtail tournament is being held today and hopefully the wind will start late. I’m forecasting 11-15 north westerlies later this morning. If the fishing gods are with them they should be able to have acceptable conditions this morning before the winds come up. We’ll see.
As far as the rest of the Sea it looks like today will be the most pleasant of the next 3 days with 20+ knot northerlies forecast for Monday and Tuesday. Temps today will be in the high 70s with some locations making it to 80 today in Baja.

The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see the Pineapple Express is pretty much gone. There are some remnant whispys that don’t have any jet stream support that are drifting in from the Pacific into central Baja this morning just enough to add some color to the flat bay this morning. A few will pass over the cape this morning. The Riviera will be pretty much cloud free.
Looking south to the Tehuantepec this morning it looks like during the night they had some 30 knot winds but it looks like this wind event has peaked and winds will subside through the remainder of the day with the winds forecast to drop to less and 20 knot by tomorrow morning.
Looking further south to the ITCZ which is about 7 north this morning. Not a lot of action along the ITCZ this morning. Lots of dry air in the hood that is not allowing much convection to build.
Looking at the jet stream analysis this morning I can see an arm of the southern jet moving across the ITCZ about 140 but there is just no moisture to pick up.
Looking out toward Hawaii this morning it is mostly clear with the exception of some high cirrus, whispys, out there.
That’s it for down here so looking north now to the west coast of America where it looks like most of the west coast will see sun today.
A rather cold system that arrived off the Oregon coast yesterday is slowly moving into the Great Basin this morning. This will be bringing snow to the upper Great Basin and the Rockies today.
As this low and associated cold front slowly passes through today it will act sort of like a closed gate for the gradient between here and the Great Basin today. As the front moves past the gate will open again tomorrow and we will have a gradient to support 20 plus knot winds in the central Sea again on Sunday.
The winds gods are not cooperating with the folks entered in the annual Mulegé Yellowtail tournament. There could be some green fishermen out there tomorrow.
Looking at the southwest it looks like dry and warm today then as that front passes through the Great Basin northern Arizona could see some showers. Then high pressure will fill in for most of the western conus.
So with the exception of some whispy passing over today we should be seeing abundant sunshine for both the Riviera and Baja.
Winds today will be in the moderate ranges. We could have just a bit more wind in the morning hours than this afternoon.
Not quite a 4 star day with the temps still in the mid 70s today. Average temp for March here at my palapa is 79 degrees. So far this month the average has been 74, so we have some warm days coming up just to make the averages for March.

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning it looks like the Pineapple Express has slipped to the south and the Sea is pretty much free of any clouds.
A very broken and scattered Pineapple Express is now spread out from about Puerto Vallarta to Manzanillo. Most of the moisture laden clouds have passed over into central Mexico and into the gulf by this morning. Water vapor imagery is showing that there is much less moisture in the plume this morning than yesterday and I would doubt there would be even a sprinkle today.
Looking south to the Tehuantepec where there is a minor wind event forecast with N-NE winds to increase this evening to about 20 knots and then increase to 30 by tomorrow and back to less than 20 knots by Sunday.
Looking now at the ITCZ: Not a lot of convection building along the ITCZ this morning. Interesting with the exception of the Pineapple Express moving in a north easterly direction the flow in the Eastern Pacific Basin is to the west this morning.
That’s about it for down here so looking now north to the west coast of America where a weak Pacific storm is poised off the Oregon coast.
This will bring a chance of rain to northern California, and rain and wind to Oregon and Washington today. This is a pretty cold system and a goodly amount of snow is forecast for the Cascades and northern Sierras before passing to the east tomorrow.
For southern California it looks like fair and dry as high pressure weakens. Saturday that system I just mentioned will be moving through the Great Basin and the gradient will be the cause of some gusterly conditions in the southland.
For the southwest high pressure aloft from the Pacific will continue dry weather and the warming trend through Saturday. There will be a brief break on Saturday as that system moves through the Great Basin and temporarily cool things off this weekend. Early next week should see the first 80 degree temperature of the year for the southwest.
Most locations in the Sea saw at least 20k winds yesterday and last night.
This system going through the Great Basin this weekend will be causing our winds to go up and down like a yoyo.
Here is what it looks like today.
Northern Sea: NE 14-17
Central Sea: NW 25-30
Southern Sea: NW 18-21
Tomorrow:
Northern Sea: ESE 11-14
Central Sea: NE 12-15
Southern Sea: NE 8-12
Sunday: When the Mulegé Yellowtail is taking place. Bad timing.
Northern Sea: NNW 20-26
Central Sea: NW 18-20
Southern Sea: NW 5-6
Today the skies in Baja will be mostly clear and a scattered and broken and rather dry Pineapple Express will pass over the Riviera from about Puerto Vallarta to Manzanillo. Temps will be about the same as the past couple of days, low to mid 70s for Baja and mid 80s for the Riviera.

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see the Pineapple Express is spread out from Loreto to about Zihuatanejo along the Riviera. Water vapor imagery is showing a lot of moisture in the plume and it appears to be a little more solid this morning. Looking back to the source of the plume along the ITCZ I can see a lot of developing convection that look like it will continue to provide lots of moisture for the 125 knot southern jet to send toward Baja for at least the next 24 hours.
From Concepcion Bay north it looks like the Sea is pretty much free of any cloudiness with the exception of some high cirrus, (whispys).
Looking to the south at the Tehuantepec: It looks like less than 20 knots of the next 3 days.
Taking a quick look around the Eastern Pacific Basin I can see a lot of whispys between Baja and Hawaii this morning and that’s about it.
So looking north now to the west coast of America where at the very top of this image I can see a tight 960 low moving out of the gulf of Alaska and sliding down the British Columbia coast toward Washington this morning bringing rain and snow to the region.
Looking off the northern California coast I can see the next system that will impact California. It will also arrive later today and bring rain to the bay area and northern California tonight and tomorrow before moving off to the east.
This system should not affect southern California with the exception of some cloudiness as the front passes.
For the southwest today there is a fast moving cold front moving out of southern California into Arizona that will bring a chance of valley rain and mountain snow mainly northeast of Tucson this morning. The system should exit into New Mexico later today with high pressure filling in and warming thing up a bit this weekend.
I wish Baja was as easy to forecast as north of the border. It looks like today and Friday it will be gusterly. Saturday and Sunday I am big-time-iffy about. The Mulege fishing tournament is still on for this weekend however after shaking my chicken feathers over my crystal ball it looks it will be a bit uncomfortable fishing this weekend. But then again….I could be wrong.
Lots of sun for central and northern Baja today. Temps will be in the low to mid 70s in Baja, mid 80s for the Riviera. The nights will remain chilly. No rain reported anywhere yesterday; however the plume is a little wetter today, so sprinkles are certainly possible.

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that the Pineapple Express is sending a light plume of mostly whispys over the central Baja peninsula south to the cape this morning. The plume is scattered and the heaviest portion is over the cape right now.
There is another light plume coming ashore around Acapulco this morning.
The source of the plume is from building convection along the ITCZ, which is about 8 north this morning. The convection is from about 110 out to 140. The convection in the 110 area is being drawn to the west to where the 135 knot southern jet is picking up the moisture and sending it back to the east via the Pineapple Express directly toward Baja.
The entire Eastern Pacific Basin is pretty much full of clouds this morning and there is the normal eastward flow so we have the Pineapple Express which is supported by a subtropical 135 knot jet sending a plume toward Baja and then there are the rest of the clouds out there that are sort of moseying along with the flow toward the Mexican coast. I’d suspect they should start to see a mix of whispys and fluffys along the cape area and the Riviera last this afternoon and this evening.
Also forecast for the stretch between Guaymas and Topa la Bomba 20-30 knot winds for the next 3 days. Today mostly in the 20 knot ranges.
Looking at the west coast of the peninsula with NOAA’s fog seeing satellite it looks like a blanket of fog is hugging the coast from Abreojos to Mag Bay this morning.
Looking further to the south to the Tehuantepec. It looks like less than 20 knot winds are forecast for the next 3 days.
That’s about it for our hood so looking now to the north to the west coast of America where is it cold along the coast. Frost warnings out in many locations.
At the top of this image I can see a low pressure system spinning off the west coast that will move ashore in Washington, Oregon and northern California today bringing some light showers and snow to the higher elevations of the cascades and the Sierras.
As this trough of low pressure tracks quickly into the Great Basin this afternoon it will produce a sufficient gradient to support gusterly conditions in southern California.
For the southwest today: As one low pressure system leaves Arizona another one approaches from the west. Temps will stay cool in spite of some sun across the deserts today. Tucson was 39 degrees at sunrise this morning.
The last of this series of Pacific storms will move across northern Arizona tonight resulting in another chance of light showers and some light snow in the mountains. As this system exits to the east high pressure will into the weekend bringing much warmer temps to the region.
There is a rather weak system moving in from the Pacific into the 4 corners area on Sunday but it should not affect the weather in the southwest portions of Arizona.
That’s what is happening to the north of us. Back down here in Baja today we should see some whispys passing over. The same for the Riviera. Temps will be in the low to mid 70s today in Baja, mid 80s for the Riviera.

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning, first with the 24 hour loop, I can see that Pacific storm that moving through northern Baja has now moved into New Mexico this morning. This image is showing some rather wet cells in those clouds that passed over us yesterday.
Most of the real wet stuff was to the north of Baja however as far south as Mulegé we had some sprinkles during the Annual Chili Cook-off. Not enough to dampen the hair or the spirits of the large crowd that attended.
Looking now with the real-time images I can see that the Pineapple Express is still anchored about La Paz on the northern side and Manzanillo to the south. Although it looks like the plume is made up of mostly whispys I can see numerous cells that have high water vapor content.
Looking back at the ITCZ it looks like there is sufficient convections to keep the plume going today. The southern transporting jet is about 125 knots this morning.
Looking now at the Tehuantepec where 20-30 knot winds are forecast to continue through tomorrow night.
That’s about it for down here so looking north now to the west coast of America where at the very top of this image I can see a big honk’n low descending on the Great Northwest.
After January and February brought one of the mildest starts of the year in much of the northwest a much colder system will move in this evening and bring snow levels in Portland down to 1000-1500 ft.
Rain, hail, and snow are forecast for the region through tomorrow night.
This storm will reach northern California and by tonight the foothills in the Sacramento area could be seeing snow.
That strong southern California storm what went through southern California yesterday and is exiting Arizona this afternoon brought heavy rain to the valleys and deserts and snow to the mountains. There is still a Winter Storm Warning for the areas above 5000 ft in the Tucson area until noon today.
As the storm exits dry weather will return today and then tomorrow that northern California storm will swing south into Nevada and bring a chance of rain and snow to the north of Tucson.
So it is still very much winter to the north of us.
Back down here in Baja today most of Baja will be seeing sunshine, however it looks like from La Paz south to Manzanillo they will be under the Pineapple Express today.
Most locations were on the chilly side at sunrise and today’s highs will be in the low to mid 70s.

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see the Pineapple Express has moved just a tad to the south on the Baja peninsula. Along the Riviera the southern side of the Pineapple Express is still around Manzanillo.
In the far northern end of the Sea I can see that a strong Pacific storm will be moving through southern California and northern Baja today. This system is sending a blanket of clouds south to about Concepcion Bay.
When I put this in the 24 hour animated mode I can see that a series of very wet cells passed over the southern crossing during the night. Jay confirmed some sprinkles in the La Paz area. It looks like the clouds behind this wet plume will be in the whispys variety.
I want to talk about the winds on the Sonoran coast between Topa la Bomba and Cabo Corrienties. For the next three days you should be seeing 15-20 knot northwesterlies.
Further to the south the Tehuantepec is forecast to continue to have 25-30 knot winds for a few more days.
Ok that’s it for down here so looking north now to the west coast of America where there is very nice storm system moving into Southern California and Northern Baja this morning. It should move through the area rather quickly and by tomorrow be well off to the east, New Mexico or Texas.
A winter storm advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service for southwest Arizona today. They are forecast to have heavy desert rain and snow in the mountains.
High pressure will fill in the wake of this system before the next system arrives on Tuesday.
Back down here in Baja today you will probably be someplace where you will see some cloudiness. Both on the peninsula and the Riviera. However, looking again at the Pineapple Express it looks like it is moving a bit to the south on the peninsula so the northern extreme is a bit south of La Paz right now.
It looks like it will be clear over Mulegé today for the Annual Chili Cook-off, Winds will be moderate with a southern flavor in the northern and central Sea.

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see the Pineapple Express is still blanketing central and southern Baja as well as much of the Riviera this morning. Clouds from the north blanket the northern Sea.
Water vapor imagery is not showing as much moisture in the Pineapple Express plume as yesterday. I can see a few wet cells embedded in the plume however I would be surprised if any area receives much more than just a sprinkle.
Much like yesterday the extremes of the plume are Santa Rosalia and Guaymas to the north and just a bit south of Manzanillo in the south.
Looking south to the Tehuantepec this morning it looks like 20-30 knot winds will persist over the next several days.
Looking now south to the ITCZ where yesterday’s image was showing the basin to be drying out, this morning I can see the southern jet is sweeping way south and picking up a lot of moisture from the deep tropics and rebuilding the plume. The current plume over us right now is as I mentioned, rather dry.
So it looks like the Pineapple Express plume will continue for a couple more days at least.
Looking at the rest of the Eastern Pacific Basin this morning I can see that there are a lot more clouds, fluffys, in the basin than yesterday. Mostly moving down from the north, a somewhat unusual pattern being influenced by that low moving down the California coast this morning.
That’s about it for our hood so taking a look at that low along the west coast of California. It is a rather tight closed low that has been slowly working its way down the coast for the past several days bringing mostly clouds to California along the way. It is currently about 300 miles off Pt. Conception in central California.
Later on today when it is about even with the US/Mexican border it will hook a hard left and head east. As it makes landfall this afternoon it will be bringing a goodly amount of rain to San Diego and Tijuana and snow to the mountains down to perhaps 3500 ft.
Tonight and tomorrow this system will slowly move east and into southwest Arizona bringing more rain and more mountain snow through Monday when it finally moves out of the area.
Meantime this afternoon and evening here in northern Baja it looks like the system will swing as far south as Turtle Bay spreading rain over northern Baja and then northern Sonora as it progresses east tomorrow.
So it looks like central Baja will be getting a double whammy this weekend with clouds sweeping in from both the north and south.
Will central Baja get any rain from this system? Possibly! As this system spins off the northern Baja coast there is a lot of moisture out there that will be sucked into this system. We will certainly know by tomorrow morning.
So starting this morning the entire Sea will be filling in with clouds. The northern Sea from the system off the California coast right now and the central Sea from both the Pineapple Express and the California system. The southern Sea and the Riviera have only the Pineapple Express which as I mentioned is not packing a lot of moisture today.
As far as winds they will be on the light side today.

The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see the Pineapple Express is still with us this morning. The plume has not moved much in the past 24 hours and the extremes are still about Santa Rosalia and Guaymas to the north and Manzanillo to the south.
Tracing the plume back to the ITCZ (about 140), it looks like the source is drying up a bit and I’m guessing that this rather wet plume will exhaust itself in the next 24 hours. We’ll see.
However for today a heavy mix of whispys and fluffys, many with dark bottoms will be passing over from central Baja to the southern Riviera.
Looking south to the Tehuantepec where it looks like 20-25 knot winds will continue through the weekend.
Taking a last look around the Eastern Pacific Basin this morning, with the exception of the Pineapple Express all I can see are some whispys between here and Hawaii this morning.
That’s it for our hood so looking now north to the west coast of America where between the low moving through the Rockies and the low approaching the west coast of California it is pretty much cloud free.
At the top of this image is a strong low pressure system associated with a Pacific storm system just off the British Columbia coast this morning. This afternoon it will move south to northern California and Saturday it will be off the southern California coast.
It will swing east over southern California Saturday night and Sunday morning and into western Arizona late Sunday.
This system will bring valley rain, occasionally heavy, and mountain snow to southern California on Saturday and Sunday.
For the southwest dry weather will persist into Saturday then the California storm will be moving through bringing valley rain and mountain snow to 4000 feet. There is also a chance that there will be some embedded thunderbumpers in the system as it moves though. Lingering showers could be around on Monday. Another Pacific storm is forecast to bring another round of weather about the middle of next week.
All this stuff to the north of us will not have much affect on our weather down here for the next three days, however after that front moves through the southwest on Sunday we could see some gusterly conditions early next week. I’ll have a better idea tomorrow.
For today in Baja the Pineapple Express will blanket most of the central and southern Sea. Temps will be in the mid 70s and the winds will be in the light of moderate ranges.
The Riviera will also see cloudiness today from the Pineapple Express. Temps there will be in the mid 80s.

The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning, what a difference a day makes. Yesterday morning the southern jet was in Central California and during the past 24 hours it has rather rapidly moved south and about midnight it was starting to pick up the moisture in the Eastern Pacific Basin and send it at 125 knots toward the Baja coast. Since midnight is has continued to slip south and is now parked over an area of convection between 130 and 140.
This seems to be the favorite parking spot for this subtropical jet when it is in our hood. There is probably a good chance it will hang around for a few days at least.
The extremes are about Santa Rosalia/Guaymas to the north and around Puerto Vallarta to the south.
I can see lots of wet cells in this plume so a shower or two is certainly possible.
All that to say it’s going to be a bit cloudy today in Baja.
Looking south to the Riviera. South of Puerto Vallarta it looks like they will be seeing mostly sunshine today.
Looking further south to the Tehuantepec where 20-25 knot winds continue and should persist for the next 36 hours before dropping below 20 knots.
That’s about it for our hood so looking north now to the west coast of America where a couple of Pacific weather systems will move through southern California this week. The first weak upper low will bring a chance of light showers this morning. This second stronger storm will likely bring rain and mountain snow Saturday and Sunday.
For the southwest high pressure will bring dry conditions and seasonally warm days to the region. This weekend that second Pacific storm will move through the area bringing a slight chance of some thunderbumpers, valley rain and mountain snow. High pressure will fill in as the system moves off to the east on Monday with a gradual warm-up.
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back here in Baja it looks like it will be a bit overcast today. The winds today will be on the very moderate side and the daytime highs will be in the mid to high 70s here in Baja and mid 80s along the Riviera today.

Sea of Cortez Weather 03/03/10
he Sonrisenet: The premier source for Sea of Cortez weather.

Click here for the Satellite WunderMap view of the Sea of Cortez

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning the skies are basically pretty clear. Off the Baja west coast there is a fog bank that is about 6,000 ft thick that is almost hugging the coastline. Over the top to this bank I can see several streamers of whispys crossing the peninsula and into the Sea this morning. These streamers are passing over the peninsula from San Filipe to the cape this morning and it looks like they will continue most of the day.
Looking south to the Mexican Riviera this morning I can see a lot of scattered clouds off shore. There is not much of an eastern flow this morning and most of these clouds are not making it to land. Most of the clouds that do make it to shore will be south of Manzanillo.
So for most of the Riviera it looks like they will be seeing lots of sun today.
Looking south to the Tehuantepec where this morning’s ASCAT pass showed a Tehuantepecker still brewing there with 30-40 knot winds, They are forecast to diminish later today and be in the 20-25 ranges through Thursday.
Taking a quick peak at the ITCZ this morning: I can see some moderate convection, however with no jet support the cloud formations are sort of just milling around with a slight northeast movement.
` So that’s about it for our hood so looking now to the north where the
Real meteorologists are calling today a complex weather pattern.
Where:
Yesterday’s California wet system has moved off to the east this morning.
Meantime just off the northern California/Oregon coast we have another storm knocking at the door. This system will also being rain and snow to northern California. More snow to the Sierras than the Cascades though.
There is more wet stuff that should arrive in northern California this weekend and I’ll probably get into that tomorrow.
Meantime southern California is seeing some morning fog and drizzle but the days will remain mostly dry and a bit warmer this week.
Meantime out the southwest: High pressure and mostly clear skies along with near normal temps are on tap for the rest of this week.
Meantime, just to the north, up in the Great Basin those California storms that are and will continue to move east this week will be bringing snow to that region.
Meantime back at the ranch, here in Baja it looks like we will be having an absolutely gorgeous March day. Lots of sun, very moderate winds and temps in the seasonal normal ranges. Mid 70s for Baja and mid 80s for the Riviera.

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see some cloudiness in the northern Sea. This is coming from a series of weak systems that will be passing through mostly northern California this week. The northern Sea is seeing the extreme end of the first one that is currently about 200 miles off San Francisco this morning.
The rest of the Sea looks to be pretty much free of any clouds. Well, I can see a few fluffys here and there and what looks like a thin layer of whispys, but mostly clear.
Looking south to the Riviera: A rather poor excuse for a Pineapple Express extends from about 140 toward Riviera this morning. Rather than a Pineapple Express let’s call it the Orange Blossom Special. Not a lot of clouds with most of them not making it to the coast. So it looks like a few fluffys may pass over but it looks more like sunshine all day.
Looking now south to the Tehuantepec where there is a cold front moving through the area from the Gulf of Mexico and bringing up a nice Tehuantepecker. Gale force this morning and up to storm force by this evening. So they could be looking at 50 knot winds by this evening.
Taking a last look around the basin: Not a lot of convection along the ITCZ this morning and mostly just scattered clouds around the basin with an eastern flow.
So looking now north to the west coast of America where as I mentioned the first of several wet systems is just off the northern California coast. By the end of the week the snow levels will be in the Sierra Foothills.
Southern California may see some light sprinkles this week from these systems but that’s about all.
For the southwest high pressure will continue throughout the week along with seasonally warm temps. They will not feel any affects of the Pacific storms until this weekend when they could have a chance of a few showers.
Back down here is Baja today it looks like Chamber of Commerce March day. Light to moderate winds, lots of sun and temp in the mid 70s today for Baja and mid 80s for the Riviera.

Sea of Cortez Weather 03/01/10

After the Sonrisa Weather it’s back to work.
The following is from my daily ham radio Report
Voice to Text……….
.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see some drifting clouds over the far northern Sea. The rest of the Sea looks to be pretty much free of any clouds.
Off the west coast it looks like there is a heavy fog bank all along the west coast of Baja this morning that is not quite reaching shore.
Looking south to the Riviera I can see that they are pretty much cloud free as well this morning.
There are several areas along the ITCZ this morning that are producing some convection however without a jet stream transport system they are sort of wandering around the basin with a slow eastward direction. It looks like from time to time in the next 24 hours they will be a mix of fluffys and whispys passing over portions of the Riviera but they can expect to see mostly sunshine today.
That’s about it for our hood so looking north now to the west coast of America where in general high pressure is building.
Looking out into the Pacific I can see the next system that will impact northern California moving towards the coast.
There will be several storm systems that will move through northern California this week. The first will arrive tonight. A second colder system will arrive on Wednesday and the third around Friday.
All of these storms will bring the snow levels down to the foothills and steady rain to the valleys.
For the southwest high pressure will build over the entire western conus today and remain in place through the middle of the week. They can expect to see warming and dry conditions until later in the week when a fast moving low will move through the area bringing mostly a few clouds but no rain.
Back down here in Baja today we can expect to see abundant sunshine and very moderate winds on tap for the next three days.
Overnight temps will remain chilly and the daytime highs will be in the low to mid 70s today.
