WEEKEND SOARING FORECAST, FEBRUARY 17 to 20, 2012

The last few weeks we have seen an almost continous series of changing weather patterns arrive and depart in quick succession. This week the pattern continues as FRIDAY the temps. will increase to above normal as a dry Northeast flow fills into our area from the North (due to our rainy weather system exiting south into Mexico). SATURDAY we will quickly change back to our typical westerly flow. It looks like quite a good day for wave with wind out of the southwest at high velocity aloft. As Saturday progresses, the wind should start to clock around to the Northwest closing down the wave so don't dally or you will miss all the fun. Sunday and Monday we will have clear sunny weather with westerly winds while the coast will remain under clouds with a chance of drizzle.

The National Weather Service is predicting the following local surface conditions for Friday through Monday:

FRIDAY: Sunny. Temperature: 59 degreesWind: Northeast 10 mph.SATURDAY: Sunny, Temperature: 71 degreesWind: West 15 to 20 mph.
