Looking a bit shaky...

So what happened to day. There was plenty of wind up high (and on the ground mid-morning at the farm). Looks like bases were 6500ft or so. As predicted the afternoon got better but will probably finish early. First graph shows today at 3pm.

NOAA are forecasting a blue day for Saturday with high cloud??? I'm not so sure. The RASP forecast has moderate thermals through to 5500-8000ft depending on the terrain. The winds will be less than 15 knots below 8000ft

Check out the forecast convergence lines...sea breeze around the BoP and hawkes. Convergence from Taupo up to the North. Excellent.
