Weather for the Baja California Peninsula
Baja Weather Synopsis
10AM MDT 05/08/08 Temperatures across Baja will warm by a few degrees in Baja California to as much as 10°F in Baja California Sur. Marine layer in coastal Baja California will keep temperatures under 70°F today while the Sea side of the peninsula will warm to the mid 90's. Winds in the Sea are forecast to be light and variable today increasing to 10kts from the west on Satursday and 10kts from the NW on Sunday. Clouds wil move over central baja today (yellow arrow) as a result of tropical moisture moving NE. A large area of thunderstoms (magenta arrow) is about 700 miles south of Cabo San Lucas moving NNE. It is supported by a Trof (orange arrow) not a tropical wave. This system is producing heavy rains but is expected to dry up as it reaches the dry air to it's north. The system should then trun east over the mainland. It may be possible that extreme portions of Baja Sur will get some cloud cover and perhaps even some showers from this system late in the weekend. It is unlikely that this system will develop further as it moves north.
