Default A bit breezy today...

From Weather Underground:

Strong to very strong winds are currently impacting the higher terrain of
the central mountains extending from the Sangre de Cristos southward to the
northern Sacramento Mountains (we're directly in the middle of that) as well
as the east slopes. These strong winds will gradually progress away from the
central mountains through late morning and impact the High Plains (that's
where we are). Wind speeds will generally range between 30 to 40 mph with
gusts to 60 mph through 11 am. There will be localized areas to the Lee of
the central mountains that will experience very strong and damaging mountain
wave winds with gusts as high as 80 mph. Raton Airport has experienced wind
gusts as high as 83 mph around 6 am. The wind direction will primarily be
westerly so high profile vehicles traveling along north to south orientated
highways will be impacted most.
High Wind Warning in effect until 7 PM MST Friday...

Looks like a great wave forecast if only we could get our gliders safely to
the launch point!
