Today we went up to Flynns to try again. Forecast was for thunderstorms in the afternoon, and stronger winds as a Low pressure system was moving into central California. Like clockwork it happened. Still we hung on launch trying to make a task to happen. Pilots launched, but didn't get very high and were drifting back quite fast with what thermals there were.
Kevin finally called the task when pilots weren't pentrating and not climbing out due to too much wind. By this time the showers were showing over the Sierras, and cumulus were developing over the Whites quickly. It didn't take long for the valley to close in with clouds and outflow from the showers throwing out gust fronts.
Stay tuned for tomorrow. Cheers!
