Summary

DescriptionDiablo wind.jpg	English: The Diablo winds a the result of cold weather east of California over the Great Basin, mostly in Nevada and Utah,. Cool, high-pressure air hanging above the high desert runs in contrast to a warmer low-pressure system along the Pacific Coast, creating the pressure differential that’s the recipe for Diablo winds. It is first a katabatic wind descending the Sierra Nevada, then passing thru the Central Valley and finally passing over the Coastal mountains north of San Francisco it becomes a foehn wind on the other side of them.
