Central Plateau Soaring Competion

New Zealand,   November 1, 2009 – November 7, 2009

Tuesday 3rd

11:15

This mornings weather is a little more cloudy with 15 kt South Westerly winds in exposed areas. Cloud base is still quite low but there's definitely some activity happening.

Todays tephigram shows cloud tops at around 7000' but at the moment moisture levels are quite high so we only have a 4000' cloudbase. Weatherman Roland is expecting drier air to move over us with the Soutwest flow, so we are hoping for cloudbase to rise to around 5 to 5500' feet which will allow us to set a task for today.

The gliders are gridding and we will call another breifing at 12:30
