		<description><![CDATA[WEEKEND SOARING FORECAST, FEBRUARY 3 to 6, 2012 Predictably consistent in a word or two. Our weather will largely be unchanged throughout this period. Sunny and mild with unlimited visibility and a gentle Northeast wind component will dominate. It will likely be windy in Los Angeles and the canyons this weekend but gentle to mild [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Strong, sometimes warm winter winds down in the LA basin have a peculiar cause.   As a brisk, perhaps even chilly breeze in the Antelope Valley flows over the mountains and down toward sea level the air is heated by compression.   That causes it to expand and accelerate, making the wind much stronger down below than up here where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Looks like we&#8217;re in for another period of relatively mild northerly weather in the coming week, Santa Ana winds in LA meaning probable ridge lift and bow wave up here in the high desert.   As this wind pushes smog off shore, we often get brilliant views of Channel Islands from high over our San Gabriel Mountains.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week Kevin Mather, a paraplegic, made his first solo flight here.   Kevin possessed the necessary skills months ago, but had to wait for the arrival of our new ASK-21s with optional hand rudder controls.    Congratulations Kevin &#8211; FINALLY!       Also, this past Thursday we hosted fifteen recovering soldiers returned from Iraq &#8211; thanks to many volunteers for [...]]]></description>
