The Star Rating provides an indication of the quality of the soaring on the day. Anything over 0 is thermally active, and 3 Stars and above suggests good conditions for local soaring.

Given the upper wind strength and direction we may see Wave set up over the area.

Conditions for a 50km cross-country task look promising.
