The forecast looks normal, except for the timing of the vortex's arrival. The same pattern continues with strong northwesterly winds from the North Pacific High and strong northwesterly winds over the peninsula at about 1000 feet (975 MB). The pressure gradient is distributed between Sacramento and Stockton, but only with a mild Bakersfield gradient. This makes gusts north of the Bay Bridge west-southwest, while gusts on the peninsula are likely to be west-northwest.
Wind forecast: Bodega wineries in the northwest range in price from the high teens to low twenties. Waddell NW Teens to low twenties. Teens to 20s on Coyote and 3rd W to WNW in the channel, but sometimes W. on the launch site. Candlestick close to 20. Larkspur/Clark's Brickyard Teens. Sherman Island around 20 p.m.

High pressure in the North Pacific pushes a ridge of high pressure into northern California and the Pacific Northwest, causing low pressure to rise along the coast north of the Golden Gate. This causes the northwest wind to bend as it enters, creating a counter-clockwise vortex and south coast winds until mid-afternoon. The same low pressure makes maximum pressure gradient There is a smaller gradient towards Sacramento, towards Stockton, no Bakersfield gradient. Therefore, the strongest winds are from central Kinmen to Bot. Isabel to the Prime Minister of Sherman Island. Westerly winds are likely across the peninsula until late afternoon when winds at the launch site shift to the northwest.
Wind forecast: Moderate to low ten degrees for Bodega NW if sunny. Waddell Northwest Low Teens. Coyote and the teens on the 3rd W to WNW are in the channel, but usually the launch site is W. Teens on a candlestick. Crissy & TI is located near 20 Central Bay. Berkeley Teen and Isabel High School. Alameda ranges from low to weak mid-teens. Larkspur/Clark's Brickyard Teens. Sherman Island around 20 p.m.
