Friday

[Mark Sanzone]

I am available to fly but the forecasts look marginal.  Saturday looks better. Comments?

Friday does look marginal, except Peterson Butte looks good for soaring in WSW winds. I know we can't fly there this time of year but thought I would mention it for the record.

 

Saturday looks good a few places:

1. Sollie looks soarable above 2Kft.

2. Bald Butte looks good by 2pm, light winds (0-5mph) WNW, lapse rate to +6Kft,. By 5pm winds switching

     ENE at 0-5mph, lapse rate to +8Kft.  So, because of possible E component by 5pm the plan would be to be

      in the air earlier. 

3. Detroit Lake looks good also with light W 5-7mph, lapse rate to +6Kft.

 

I think I will work Friday and plan to fly Saturday.

Be leary of midnight  forecasts!  It actually is looking like onshore flow and a fair amount of west for Parkdale and Hoover but that could change.

The ridge of drunken optimism will persist until sunrise and start to dissapate followed by a  trough of pessimistic reality which will build until late afternoon.
