32 C It will be hot on the ground. Stay hydrated. It will be down to 14.4 C in the air.

XC Potential (4hrs)

96km downwind XC or 60 km Triangle Possible by Sport Class Pilot.

The wind on the ground will be from S . The wind on the top launches will be from S at 7kph gusting to 18kph In a N () Ridge soaring will be ... probably not a good idea. The chance of it being magic is 75%.
