Another potentially difficult day

Winds about the Province are SE and relatively light at the moment (c6km/hr in Navarendonda and Avila).  However we are still affected by instability which may complicate the day.  Less cirrus today and perhaps less proablility of early build up of mid level clouds which blocked the Anabatic winds on the sites yesterday.  Wind is forecast to go W later in the morning which will make more difficult our site decision:

SE is good for Chia, which is also good for stronger winds (less turbulnet than Lastra).

Lastra will work for SE and SW (but we may have had our fill after yesterday.

Peña Negra may work, but will bre later and depends upon good heating of the face.

Some wave activity evident already over the mountains and downslope winds in the Corneja valley.  This stronger downslope wind in our valley is typical on SE days with these conditions.  However the wind at the top in Chia may be lighter and flyable.  – We won´t know till we get there!

Oh Dear, another non flying day with lots of wind.  I fear another tomorrow too!

3 day
