Monday East Wave alert

[Kempton]

Altho a bit blustery on the ground, it looks like a very nice setup aloft:

700mb 11a 700mb 6p
Just right at 55 kts or so at 500mb:
500mb 11a 500mb 6p

Surface winds, just have someone help you assemble:


I'll not be flying, but it looks really good!

Thanks Kempton. I am Following the thread to see if anyone else is planning to fly. My glider is at Byron so not sure I can make it.

Ouch. Glider in shop and work commitments I can't skip. I hope someone goes so I can waste the whole day watching you on the tracker!

FYI, for pilots who haven't used Tracker too much, here is the url for tracker at Byron:

I see Ramy is in the air. I see it on the SSA Tracker:

Wind over Mt Diablo, looking at Windy.com shows:
- wind arrows, 8 Am to 5 PM today, surface to FL 300
The wind at 24,000 (400h) looking at 11 AM, the top wind arrow is approximately 005 degrees at 65 kts (that's in degrees true, not magnetic).
Next one down is 500 mb - FL180 - about the same direction at 55 kts.

And finally, the Windy.com view at 10,000 ft. See wind in motion coming from the NNE
