Saturday's forecast. Think it might block?

Looks like it could be good. Light SW winds. Rain arrival pushed back. Just have to look out for the clouds, although they were high this afternoon.

I'm not used to that chart. So, how high? Cloudbase how high? Winds?

Where did you get those soundings? They're showing pretty wet conditions.

The latest from NAM is much better -- although low cloudbase still might be a problem. Got Hope?

[edit: comparing soundings they are actually about the same; Bob's charts are elongated vertically]

Its really hard to say what cloudbase might be looking at the charts. The fact that there is a strong inversion at around 8k might help stop the overdevelopment. But it looks like 6k+ with SW winds at 6kts.

Damn, tomorrow is looking pretty good! In fact, it looks like it could be one of the best days that we've had in quite a while, assuming the forecast stays on track.

Wouldn't you know it, I've got V-day plans already. Why - why - why...(yes, that was me banging my head against the wall AGAIN!) Who started this V-day thing anyway, and why does it have to be celebrated on a designated day - damn democrats I vote that V-day can be celebrated on any day within February that's agreed on by both parties, as long as it doesn't interfere with good lapse-rate days

So Dean...
Since you're not going to be flying tomorrow,
And we're all going to be landing near your house,
And you're just going to be sitting around moping anyway,
Can we call you from Piru/Fillmoore and get a lift back to SB??

Thanks,
your friends

Wait a minute. Great conditions.......and someone who can't go. It's DEFINITELY gonna be good tomorrow. AND, I think Hammer can't be flying either. Two of our top pilots out??!! It's gotta be the best day of the year. No doubt about it. No question. Load em up boys! The stars have aligned, the universe is one, hit the Star Wars music...dum da da daaa da..dum ta da daaaaaaaaa!!!

Hey Dean, thanks for being the sacrificial lamb!So... you need to get your tandem rating because guess what...that's going to be my "present" to Ash tomorrow. Yeah Yeah

Im sooo ready Im already up!
And is still friday......

OMG, it looks even better this morning than it did last night. It looks too good, I'm coming! The sacrificial LAMB has broken his chains and is willing to suffer any consequences

Parma 9:15-9:30?

Saddle up and put on the Bonanza theme song, it's time to ride!

Bring all the warm clothes you can carry. White Ledge campout guaranteed for those who don't.

Looks like I'm the first one home to post...

Great flying, wish I'd have been on my T2 so I could've chased some people down to play with.

As it was, I did two tandems; soaring as long as we wanted and getting to cloudbase on both.

I think I'm going to fly in the LA area tomorrow if anyone is up for it. My Austrian friend Wolfi has to head home on Wednesday so we're going to woop it up tonight and rage in the sky tomorrow.

look forward to flying with you all soon,
Zippy
