Friday

It looked on the thermal forecast to be a weaker day than yesterday.  Nick suggested that, with the increasingly stable air and wind direction, there might be wave; only a light breeze on the ground. Jarek took the Pawnee for a look, and there was wave near Algonquin Peak.  A lot of nice flights, with those who invested in a 5,000 or 5,500' tow were rewarded with a few hours of localized wave, and those who took 4,000' tows and released on first bump were rewarded with a tough ride, having to use sparse rotor or slide downhill to the Sentinels to get up.  A couple of very nice flights were flown...  see the OLC.

Saturday looks a bit rainy at midday, with pretty well fully overcast.  That is the front, which will cool it down (quite warm, shorts and t-shirt weather), and on Sunday, swing the wind to NW, which is favourable for wave (if you have stable air).  Time will tell.  The low overnight Sun/Mon is -3C (was +4 last night).

The tracker seems to be working ok.  Tim from RVSS posted a pic on the SAC FORUM of ST thermaling near Whiteface.
