5/2 Craig's Where to Ride

Postby Craig Goudie » Mon May 02, 2011 8:48 am

Today is light, but there is planable wind this AM at Grantsville in the 8M sail range, should hold up till
about 11 AM. Then it looks like a DeerCreek kinda day with a thermal in the 8/16M range around Noon.
The fly in the ointment (other than cold temps) is that the Jet stream is North to South which is not good for DC,
so expect big holes if you go up. Air temps might hit 55 up there around 3 PM.

Tomorrow, stronger winds at Grantsville AM in the 6.5 sail range. An approaching minifront will kick DC
up a notch for some stronger 7.5/14M winds starting around 11AM. Frontal timing will be an issue, and I think
DC will get pretty squirrelly around 3 or 4 PM. When that happens, maybe it's time to move to UL or Rush, where
the North switch in wind should provide planable conditions late afternoon to early evening in the 7.5/14M range.
Air temps soar to a balmy 65 degrees.

Wed, nice, but none too windy.

At least it's good to be forecasting when the air is potentially warm enough to sail liquid water
