Lets go gliding...I hope

NOAA's back online... So...todays forecast is for 20 degrees in Tauranga and about 17 degrees in Taupo. Light to moderate westerlies...15 knots at ground level and 20-25 knots above 6500ft. There is an inversion in place at about 5000ft above the Bay whereas its not quite as strong further south. However while thermals may go to 6-6500ft around Taupo it may stay blue or at least the thermal markers will be small and shallow. This shouldn't be a problem here in Tauranga. I think there will be wave influence. It should be enough to hold the sea breeze out. But we will need things to heat up past 18 degrees before we can get going. The top graph is for Tauranga at lunchtime and the other is Taupo mid-afternoon.
