This week’s weather will remain consistent day to day, much like last week, but with temps down to around 90 with more light northerlies and more fine (mostly blue) thermal conditions. Their strength and height will be declining from now forward, but we can expect summer soaring conditions to continue well into the near future…

Congratulations this week go to Michael Freed who flew his first glider solo!

Moving now into late summer, we can expect each day this coming week to be about the same. Temps ninety-something and moderate southwesterly wind, stronger each afternoon. Blue thermals good to great (no guarantee how high), and if a south wind picks up, shearline in the desert and maybe wave.

This past week for us was all about the crazy weather, fires and fire fighting aircraft flying near our field. Hope you’re all staying cool out there!

We’re still scheduling through e-mail request. If you have a Schedule Pointe account please check availability first (for Fri/Sat/Sun) then e-mail us your reservation request. Include your cell number. Do not schedule reservations yourself, until further notice.

Please bring a mask and your own water with you to our field!

After a month of cloudless WX, last week debuted our usual late summer ‘monsoon’ period. Classic thunderstorm activity brought rapid changes in wind and temperature, hot calm spells feeding big buildups and cold gust fronts from sudden downdrafts.

The pattern has continued, and probably will through the coming week, monsoonish humidity (haze), and every afternoon the chance of a spectacular shower. Remember to say a prayer for fire season!

Stay safe and healthy and wishing you good spirits,
The Soaring Academy Crew
