Will it work today?

Quite hard to say...

I think it'll look real good for an hour or so about 11-ish then over-develop and rain later on.

It will really depend how far west the forecast shower/thunder storms will spread.

I suspect it will better to launch out of Matamata and go SW.

The ridge will work...albeit poorly given the southerly bias in the wind.

Saturday looks like a repeat...although hopefully with less likelihood of showers.

Sunday...if the SE winds drop off it could be a good afternoon.

Interestingly despite the southely airflow none of the next 3 days will have stunning cloud bases...more like 5-6000ft inland rather than the 6-7000ft you might expect at this time of the year.

Also...I'm under attack from the Russian's...some-one from that vast country, as well as the US, viewed the blog 239 times in 1 hour...I suspect something somewhat less than a deep interest in Gliding in Tauranga...it'll be interesting to see if Google can fend this off...
