Events

Light lift, moderate winds. Weather Network says 0% POP tho. You may be able to get some good soaring in early. Bad wind direction for XC.

.

0% POP, High of 19. A bit breezy from the N (bad direction for XC)

22¬?C Cloudy periods 10% POP
Good direction for XC around Pearson airspace
Lift is the wild card,in centre of small dense high like this, but could, indeed should be really good at some point on Sunday.I would favour backside of this high when as Mark noted it would be better for gettin us around YYZ air. Aint never been north from SOGA (might need Milko as a tour guide)
Gee I hope the 72h isnt suckering us; but by Sat aft (sorry Wayne...looks awful on Sat...far too windy wrong way at alt) we should have a darned good idea.

Better at 1PM than at 4PM. Bad direction for XC. Wind a little strong to buck the headwind and head north...but the B/S ratio is high so it maybe OK for trying to head North.

Base seems to be low....BUT, XC SKies has been reporting lower tops-of-lift than we've actually been experiencing.

Windy to stay local...but if base is higher than forecasted, it may be a good day to go XC a far way East (due to the West wind).

No tug pilot.

Not looking good (as of Wed night)

Stay home

Figures...the weekend is over and the forecast is better. XC Skies is showing reasonable lift and base of about 5000asl. Wind out of the west....could make for some great long XC to the East.

A bit breezy - certainly manageable at ground level and the higher wind would certainly help cover ground up higher.

I maybe tempted to go out (tug pilot required of course).

High of 29 degrees, now 10% POP, mainly sunny.

Windy tho - would be tough to stay at the field.

I think it's much windier than that...like 29 kts!

A better forecast for Sat than Sunday

27¬?C
Mainly sunny
POP 10%

At the Ol' Dickens Pub

Still rather windy.

But once again, look at our area compared to Chatham:

Top of Lift:

Thermal Updraft Velocity

I thought it was going to be better than this?! I hope the forecast I seen is wrong.

Top of Lift (AGL):
Once again....Chatham seems the place to be!
Thermal Strength

Yuk (yet again)...but yet again, look at Chatham...the only place where the B/S is good, the climb rates are 800fm, base is 6000'+

We're at the dark purple blob at the top of the image (shows 0-1000' AGL base) and Chatham is the Dark blue blob (shows 5-6000' base).

Life is so cruel!

Now Thursday isn't looking good either...and the weekend doesn't look good on The Weather Network but the forecasts on the radio says it's going to be dry...

Lighter winds later. XC SKies says it's a good day. A rather high chance of thunderstorms tho...
