1st soaring forecast of the season

It’s the Cubs home opener today. It is currently snowing at Wrigley field!

So, the entire area is shown as SOARABLE!

If you could get to a place to launch and were willing to fly in Arctic gear, (20° aloft)

You could fly your butt off at 5000’ in light winds.

It’s going to warm up soon, but I think It’s gonna be a little bit yet b4 flying. We’ll keep our eye on it however we have some wind and rain to get through b4 reasonable flying.

There’s always a chance for a decent day between cycles…

 G

This website going live soon. We'll keep you posted.
