Saturday Morning Perception
Looks like another good potential day at Pine. The heat is down a few notches compared to the past few days, but the lapse rate is still better than average. Max altitudes aren't as good as Thursday, but it still looks like 10 to 12K early and higher over Lockwood in the afternoon. The wind has clocked around to come from the west. Ronda is showing morning north gusting to 14 at 8 am, so it might be a north side launch, but the south might pull in midday. The velocity mild to moderate on the west end of the course early, but builds later in the afternoon from the WNW, so if you plan on doing the late day glass off, you might want to plan for an earlier launch before the south draw relaxes too much. Looks like a bit more gusto on the east end of the course, which is a double edge sword. The altitude over Neenach looks so so, but If you can hang on through the Antelope Valley and bob to hwy 14 then the altitude gets a bit better on paper and is blowing pretty good up high so you can make miles turning in zero sink.
I wasn't planning to fly. Just put my radio on the charger and am frantically trying to gather my gear. Max truck is headed up (with Edward for crew?) and Doc is standing by to crew a 2nd vehicle.
Saturday looks like the better day with more cooling on Sunday
