Forecast for Sat 23 Mar 24

A mixture of sunny intervals and scattered, blustery showers which may turn heavy at times, and carrying the risk of hail.  Max temp c9°C but in the brisk WNW wind the wind chill factor will make it feel closer to 0°C. We may see Wave set up at higher levels.  If available, an on-the-day X-Section or SkySight image that provides a more up-to-date guide will be published on the closed Messenger Ops Gp tomorrow morning.

Sunset is at 18:28.  General forecast from XCWeather https://www.xcweather.co.uk/forecast/Shawbury

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 are likely to see Wave set up over the area.
