Narrative:
On departure from la guardia on the la guardia 9 departure new york departure queried if we had started our turn to heading 040. We were already in the process of making a left turn from heading 180 degrees to heading 040. I notified ATC that we had winds of 328/28 increasing our groundspeed and radius of turn. Adding to turn radius was that we momentarily shallowed our bank angle upon a slight wake turbulence encounter on a preceding A321 which was climbing at a greater rate.ATC asked us to tighten the turn and the captain as the flying pilot complied.
