KellermanRichardWednesday Outlook The day looks strong with bases at 6,000 ft msl but NW surface gusts to >25 kts and BL wind topping out at 30 kts are likely to be troublesome. Definitely more a ridge than thermal day but the forecast gradient decreases quickly south of Winchester. QV 2023 04 10 13Z
Update Easter Weekend Wx The thick C which hounded most of the state yesterday will be a factor again today, finally clearing late afternoon-early evening. It will take sun on the ground to produce soarable conditions and it will take erosion of the Ci to get sun on the ground. Conditions better to the north … Read more
Easter Weekend Wx Synoptics Friday will be post frontal before anyone gets to the airport. The low pressure system which dragged the front through will rapidly move NE leaving a weaker gradient and very dry air with dew points in the low twenties. High pressure will build, setting up a very pleasant weeknd. Wind Friday … Read more
Fast moving strong cold front will bring miserable weather for Saturday with SW winds gusting to 30+kts, rain, and possibly thunder. CFROPA is expected by early Sunday with winds NW gusting to 30+ kts. Winds will slacken fairly quickly with gusts less than 20 kts by noon leaving a pretty nice ridge day. A subsidence … Read more
Nice weekend coming up and soaring should be possible if less than memorable. Both days look pretty blue and neither are likely to see climbs above 4,000 ft. Saturday looks marginally better if you can only fly one day. Winds less than five kts SW Saturday, 10 – 12 kts SW Sunday. QV 2022-09-19 1200Z
Continues to look like a very nice soaring day. It now looks like Cu will be likely with bases ~6,000 ft and WNW winds less than 10 kts. QV Tuesday Aug 23 1900Z
It’s a little soon to be sure but the synoptics are good with CFROPA expected to see the front well offshore by 12Z Wednesday and a ~25 F T/DP spread. I’m planning on launching from New Garden assuming the forecast holds up. Expect updates. QV
“Saturday is by far the better of the two days”. Sunday weather control missed this and now Sunday looks like it is the better day, at least for the GCup South. We should see plenty of cu with bases rising to 7,000 ft by mid-afternoon and almost no wind. A potentially super day. QV 2022-08-14 … Read more
Saturday is by far the better of the two days with pre-frontal cloud set to spoil Sunday. Clouds of all flavors will be unlikely today which is shaping up to be a very pleasant on the ground and a good one in the air, particularly if you don’t mind flying in the blue. By mid-afternoon … Read more
Yesterday unforecast Ci cloud put a damper on at least the New Garden – Morgantown area and it looked pretty blue north of Morgantown. Any PIREPS appreciated. Today strong SW flow (50 kt) at 30,000 ft and a developing short wave on the stalled front to the south looks set to produce a lot of … Read more
