New Wind Forecast Site
Check out www.windyty.com It will be interesting to see if its forecasts are accurate enough for ridge soaring. One nice feature is that you can change the altitude for the forecast (lower right side) to get predictions for ridge height in your area.

I know it's not the best season for the marfa dew line, but you can clearly see the convergence of desert air moving east and most air moving northwest from the gulf, which probably is depecting what we call the marfa dew line. kinda neat!

More commonly called the Marfa Dry Line, here is the website I use for today's current dry line location near Marfa in southwest Texas: http://weather.unisys.com/surface/sf...de&inv=0&t=cur
The Marfa Dry Line occurs year-round. It is overhead today, with cumulus just to the north of Marfa visually indicating its presence. The website also shows a fairly tight gradient. Launch the fleet!

Thanks for the additional info Burt. where are you seeing it located on that map? is it the region right around marfa where you see several relatively closely spaced dewpoint lines oriented approximately north and south?

Cool. It's much like the Nullschool site. Either can be adjusted to various altitudes.
