1000km Soaring Weather coming to NV CA SW U.S. - Fri-Sun 06/23-25

Great soaring weather is coming this weekend (Fri-Sun 06/23 to 06/25
.... and a few days beyond) to the SW U.S. Deserts (CA, NV Mojave Owens
Valley).

Finally the 500mb Four Corners High will be building in providing a
light NE to SE flow into the Mojave Deserts and SW side of the Great
Basin regin. Later in the summer this can cause extensiv e Monsoon
moisture and thunderstorms. But this early in the season, CU fields
should be extensive with only a few aftern thunderstorms. Cloud bases
should be in the 16,000 to 18,000msl range (just like you guys in
Colorado/New Mexico have had for some time .

Watch out Colorado racing guys... Boulder... 5Z ... John Seaborn...
Bill Hill ... Albuquerque Soaring!

The California Racers will be having their fun!

Friday and Saturday are toss up right now for the classic 1000km zig
zag or triangle from the Western Mojave Desert into SW NV... or for the
people flying out of Warner Springs.

Too early to say...

Walt... what effect will the haze/smoke from the SoCal fires have?

Right now, it is 105F at 1630Lcl, and I was surprised, it was a rather
smooth descent today into LAS from the west. A few bumps as we entered the
haze/inversion layer at about 17KMSL, a few more bumps over RedRocks to the
west of the city, only 5K AGL or less crossing the ridge and not the normal
roughness one normally receives. Really a smooth ride around the valley
lining up for the runway.

Tonight's low is forecast as 77F in LAS and 66F in Pahrump, Sandy Valley and
Primm with 110F forecast high for Sat/Sun. We are currently under the dome
of High pressure, and as it moves east this weekend, the hotter temps from
the south will be pulled in with S to SW winds.

We'll be looking for all you SoCal cross-country racers to be landing at
Jean this weekend.

From the feel of the weather in Tehachapi today, I'd imagine a peak on
Saturday or Sunday.

Saturday looks SPECTACULAR. I can't image it being any better...
except, perhaps, for some Cu to mark things. Sun Mon may have that ...
and will also be very good days.
