Default US Standard Nationals -- Day 1

A reminder...

All my weather briefings for the U.S. Standard Class nationals are in the URL below. Just enter the folders and sub folders for each day.

Reference an earlier post criticizing the rest day. Mark Keene's calling of a rest day on Aug 3rd was more from a safety and rest point of view. I did not think it would be a cloud less day. Really... all days were pretty darn good with fair weather cu all the way up to 30 pct coverage and cu or towering cu, but not really any OD. Days 4 and 5 had some issues with cirrus and a long blue area glide in/out of a turn point which caused a couple of top scoring pilot land outs.

The last day is analyzed in the COSPA folder with my README. There you will see a series of COSPA videos for two hour increments through a 10 hour period. They show high res visible imagery (GOES-16), radar and lightning data..
