Tuesday Day 10 - Contest Days 5 - 15m, 6 - 18m, 7 - Open

Good Morning Canada

We have blue skies but but the heat is back with a predicted high of 34 degrees. The forecast calls for isolated cu with bases of 4500 to 5500 ft for the peak hours of the day. We are fairly far east in the central European time zone which means that the sun day is ahead of the time. Based on previous experience, thermal activity dies quite quickly after 5:30 pm.

There is a weakening cold front approaching from the west which should not affect the contest area today but could shut us down tomorrow. The tactical question is how many days are going to be left.

Our gliders are on the grid - take off will be 11:45am
