"goodie here comes wave"...but alas...this system likely carrying very strong wind potential...more than enough for safe soaring operations including launches & recovery...BEST to check tiedowns and secure all objects against potential wind damage...!! Southerly wind component not favorable for good wave...moisture loading over crest of Sierra will help boost wind speeds... Snow associated with COLD FROPA likely reaching into leeward valley floors...!! PLEASE EXERCISE CAUTION...!! cheers...Doug Armstrong Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Minden Soaring Club Forum Forum Index -> Doug Armstrong's famous Soaring Forecast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Airport----------------General DiscussionRunway 21 Motor-gliding----------------DG 400DG 800ASH 26 Classifieds----------------GlidersMotor glidersMotor Weather----------------Doug Armstrong's famous Soaring Forecast Humor----------------Humor Safety----------------General discussion General Aviation----------------VLJ's  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You cannot attach files in this forum You cannot download files in this forum phpBB component v1.2.4 RC2 by Adam van Dongen.
