Sun - Generally clear start with increading cloud from lunch time onwards.

Clouds - cloud base around 2300t amsl extending up to the inversion at 2700ft amsl

Rain - less than 5% chance
Soaring - possible 2kt climbs to 1800ft where rate drops below 200fpm before dropping below 150fpm at 2100ft.
**UPDATE**
The weekend played out pretty much as forecast, plenty of flying done and Sunday produced at least one hour long flight, well done Jon Verrill in the little K8, and plenty of 20 - 40 min flights. The Discus (T19) was rolled out with Pete Garrett and philippa Roberts stretching her legs.
