Anyone interested? It does look promising.

Where are you looking Katrin?  I was on Ventusky and it looks a bit light.

jim, checkout XC Skies.  Not a lot of ridge lift but boomer thermals.   7 to 800 fpm and top of lift at 8000 feet.

We can meet in the LZ at 1:30-2:00 pm.  We'll confirm after the 10am up date.

Jim, I only look for wind direction, speed, and rain potential. Too lazy to worry about the rest.

I use Accuweather for general conditions, then if it looks interesting I use Ventusky for a closer look.  I don’t usually get into skew-Ts and other intricacies since I tend to stick to the ridge.  I also have trouble launching in low wind, I need to go back to the training hill to work on my forward inflations.  I will go this afternoon and take a look, see you there.

Looks like it's really light and SW at the Gliderport right now ...\
Hopefully it'll come around later ...

It does not look ideal but we are willing to give it a try.  Try to catch a thermal and hoping for the wonder.  Who is in?
