- Depending on workload, will try to do outlook and soaring foreacast for most XC-able days
THIS IS A TEMPORARY FORMAT FOR NOW
The little low moves NNE, but the pressure is still lowish and cyclonic with trough. Monday has the best soaring window and the rest of the week is fairly windy with soaring windows between various fronts and troughs. No real sign of high pressure again until the middle of next week (...)

Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mon: | WSW / 12 | 24 | [the best soaring window] Cu base 2500-3000ft by 11am. Large cumulus, but getting good by midday with base ~3500ft. In the afternoon bases getting to 4000-4500ft around here and 4500ft-5000ft to the N and NW, BUT a trough tends to make this overdevelop and go a bit funny mid afternoon. Afterthe trough, especially to the NW and NNW conditions could get very good again with bases getting to 6,000ft. Needs another look on the day, but should be good for a fast 200-300km+ and probably ok for 300-500km if you get the task right. |
| Tue: | WSW / 20 | 21 | Fairly windy. Large lingering cumulus base 4000ft late AM/early PM, but a trough moistens it up and it tends to overdevelop with lowering bases. Wait and see on the timing of the trough. Might be ok for a short XC 100-200km? |
| Wed: | SW / 28 | 20 | Windy 220/25kts AM, 230/28kts PM. Large Cu and Cb base 3000-3500ft until early PM. Some signs of it it drying out a bit in the afternoon with bases getting to 3500-4000ft+. The chance of a short XC if you can cope with the wind and shower dodging. |
| Thu: | WSW / 26 | 20 | Windy. Good for a bit in the morning with good/large cumulus base 4000-4500ft+ by early afternoon, but tending to overdevelop and with rather too much lingering cumulus and ending up with 6-8/8s CuSc 3000/12000 with some showers. Might be good for a short XC in the morning if you can cope with the wind. |
