Southerly flow throughout the rest of the day today.
Westerly flow on Monday. 12 run of the NAM is showing only a
slight decrease in wind speeds in the morning tomorrow. Wind speeds at 200m at
about 10am are modeled to range from 3-5m/s, and modeled wind speeds seem to be
consistently underestimated. I would put actual wind speeds around 4-8 m/s. Bufkit
is showing the boundary layer height to grow to 8.5km by midafternoon, which
is unreasonably high and clearly an error, but verifications show that this is
usually a sign of a fairly large amount of convective instability (which leads to vertical motion) that reaches fairly
high up. I would guess it should be fairly turbulent on site tomorrow, especially by 2 or 3 in the afternoon.
Southeasterly flow on Tuesday as strong low pressure centered
around Wisconsin and Minnesota reaches down to New Mexico. Cold front may sweep
through the area on Tuesday afternoon which should bring more cold air from
Canada. On Wednesday morning high pressure will make its way back into the area
with a more southerly flow turning more southwesterly in the afternoon with
very light wind speeds. Northeasterly
flow on Thursday shifting to southeasterly on Friday as high pressure dominates
much of the U.S. On Saturday low pressure will move into the area again which
should bring faster northwesterly flow.
