Outstanding Soaring: California Mojave, Owens Valley, Western NV -Fri-Sun 08/26-28
Take a look Dr Jack...
Outstanding soaring weather Fri through Sun. Lift rates 700-800fpm average... much stronger in those 10 per cent... It's a toss up between Fri and Sunday. The Mojave Desert, Owens Valley and Western NV show full cu coverage bases 15,500 to 17,500. It appears to be dry enough that only isolated thunderstorms will form in the normal "hot spots". Early trigger times also. I reviewed Dr Jack this afternoon with a long ago crew of mine, John Halcrow. For Crystalaire, the pattern on Friday looks as good as I've ever seen it. BL (thermal) max heights 17,500msl (of course cloud bases will limit altitudes to a little lower). I'm coming back out Saturday to give my 750 km triangle another try from Inyokern (please... leave me room for an 11:30am takeoff  Walt Rogers, WX
