A good 12 hour soaring forecast goes bad
Good weather on the 12 hour forecast became bad weather on the 9 hour
forecast. Even worse in the cockpit. See the forecast maps. http://www.geocities.com/jgere34/12hrforecast.doc (167kB) It's enough to make me wish for validation statistics on soaring forecasts of various durations.

Perhaps I can help. After 17 years chasing the wind
Hang Gliding and 5 years soaring I have identified one absolute rule in weather forecasting. I don't know why it works but trust me it does.

The 12 HR forecast did not have the benefit of fresh upper air data, as did the 9 HR. Your best bet is to stick with forecast output from model runs based on 00z and 12z data. -- TQ Bush & Dick - The Way God Intended - - - Elect Bush/Cheney '04 - - - Steady Leadership, Fear, and Loathing
