Best internet weather link
Amigos/amigas,
Aside from "Accuweather", what are good sites for Baja weather forecasts (for first two weeks of February)...I am interested in San Felipe to San
Ignacio area for this trip:
Catavina, Bahia de los Angeles, Bahia Asuncion, San Ignacio are the key areas of interest....
Thanks for your suggestions...... aside from "Look out the window"  
Don't believe everything you think....

Weather underground does a pretty good job and for on the water, Bouyweather does about as good as any other.

This NOA site is a pretty good one. has lots of optional views. I like the infrared 4km view the best as it is in color and easier to read.

Weather underground kinda works for what I want
Anyone else have a weather forecasting website that works for Baja Mexico?

I use sailflow.com for wind on both the SOC and the Pacific, and buoyweather.com and Wetsand.com for swells, primarily on the Pacific.

Fellow Nomad, Fred-O, just sent this to me:
------------
The following storm warning is from the USGS:
Currently, a strong El Nino is reaching its peak in the Eastern Pacific, and now finally appears to be exerting an influence on our weather. The
strong jet has been apparent for quite some time out over the open water, but the persistent block had prevented it from reaching the coast. Now that
the block has dissolved completely, a 200+ kt jet is barreling towards us. Multiple large and powerful storm systems are expected to slam into CA
from the west and northwest over the coming two weeks, all riding this extremely powerful jet stream directly into the state. The jet will itself
provide tremendous dynamic lift, in addition to directing numerous disturbances right at the state and supplying them with an ample oceanic moisture
source. The jet will be at quite a low latitude over much of the Pacific, so these storms will be quite cold, at least initially. Very heavy
rainfall and strong to potentially very strong winds will impact the lower elevations beginning late Sunday and continuing through at least the
following Sunday. This will be the case for the entire state, from (and south of) the Mexican border all the way up to Oregon. Above 3000-4000 feet,
precipitation will be all snow, and since temperatures will be unusually cold for a precipitation event of this magnitude, a truly prodigious amount
of snowfall is likely to occur in the mountains, possibly measured in the tens of feet in the Sierra after it's all said and done. But there's a big
and rather threatening caveat to that (discussed below). Individual storm events are going to be hard to time for at least few more days, since this
jet is just about as powerful as they come (on this planet, anyway). Between this Sunday and the following Sunday, expect categorical statewide
rainfall totals in excess of 3-4 inches. That is likely to be a huge underestimate for most areas. Much of NorCal is likely to see 5-10 inches in
the lowlands, with 10-20 inches in orographically-favored areas. Most of SoCal will see 3-6 inches at lower elevations, with perhaps triple that
amount in favored areas.
This is where things get even more interesting, though. The models are virtually unanimous in "reloading" the powerful jet stream and forming an
additional persistent kink 2000-3000 miles to our southwest after next Sunday. This is a truly ominous pattern, because it implies the potential for
a strong Pineapple-type connection to develop. Indeed, the 12z GFS now shows copious warm rains falling between days 12 and 16 across the entire
state. Normally, such as scenario out beyond day seven would be dubious at best. Since the models are in such truly remarkable agreement, however,
and because of the extremely high potential impact of such an event, it's worth mentioning now. Since there will be a massive volume of
freshly-fallen snow (even at relatively low elevations between 3000-5000 feet), even a moderately warm storm event would cause very serious flooding.
This situation will have to be monitored closely. Even if the tropical connection does not develop, expected rains in the coming 7-10 days will
likely be sufficient to cause flooding in and of themselves (even in spite of dry antecedent conditions).
In addition to very heavy precipitation, powerful winds may result from very steep pressure gradients associated with the large and deep low pressure
centers expected to begin approaching the coast by early next week. Though it's not clear at the moment just how powerful these winds may be, there
is certainly the potential for a widespread damaging wind event at some point, and the high Sierra peaks are likely to see gusts in the 100-200 mph
range (since the 200kt jet at 200-300 mb will essentially run directly into the mountains at some point). The details of this will have to be hashed
out as the event(s) draw closer.

From what I can tell, it has not started to rain in Ensenada. Here, looking out on Disneyland, the rain started late yesterday afternoon. There have
been periods of heavy showers. And, just for Dennis, it has become extremely windy.

Wind here too, Howard. Maybe 20 MPH. No rain as of yet.

I find Accuweather difficult to work....sometimes I can get BoLA and Asunciion, other times not
What is the trick for entering Baja locations aside from the larger cities?
