Report of a good day with big lift and sink on Monday. At altitude the wind had a strong west component. At Kagel the highest altitude was 5,500ft. A PG went down wind to North Arcadia. His highest was 6,790ft at Mt Wilson. TODAY…..more unstable weather. Already seeing some light rain. Low chcs forecast and none at both TAF sites. Blip has good altitude but the rasp is over 7K. The blip indicates clear but I would expect there to be mid level clouds even though the TAF’s are only forecasting high clouds. Winds aloft are SW between 4 and 6kts by 2pm. Max altitude 5,500ft.
