Weather Forecast for Sat 22 May 21

For those joining us tomorrow the weather forecast probably sees the best of the conditions in the period 1000- 1500.  The on-the-day X-Section that provides a more up-to-date guide for SHY will be published on the closed Messenger Ops Gp tomorrow morning.

RASP  http://rasp.stratus.org.uk/index.php/rasp-by-turn-point forecasts the height of the critical (225 fpm (1ms)) updraft velocity reaching 3,000ft………

.…with an expected maximum updraft velocity of c400fpm around 1300.

Constant wind speed and direction all day.

..and, given the wind speed and direction, there is a likelyhood of Wave setting up to the South West.

However, conditions are not good for those who might have been planning to fly their 300km cross country tomorrow.
