We have a couple of Dr. Jack RASPs running during the WGC at UVALDE.

This one has 4km resolution, English units, "variable" blipmap color scheme. There are soundings forecasts for a number of representative locations in the task area.

This one is being run by Bart Klusek. It is also 4km resolution but is in metric units with a "fixed" blipmap color scheme.

It looks like contest Day 1 should be very good day, with a potential seabreeze front intruding late in the day, *along with more moisture in the atmosphere than what they've had during the practice week.

I have been archiving the RASPs for the WGC starting with day 1 on
Sunday, Aug. 5.
There is a satellite loop for each day and link to a pilot's report
and task map for each day.
There is one page for each day. You can retrieve them by using the
pattern in the URL similar to this one for the first day.

Substitute the date you want in the URL for other days. Aug 5 - Aug 8
are available at this time.

Today's weather looks interesting, with a forecast line of
Thunderstorms-OD from Del Rio - Uvalde - San Antonio
with an outflow boundary arriving with gusts about 1700 or so. This is
pretty clearly shown on the RASPs from
the boundary layer up/down (convergence) and the surface wind
blipmaps. It will be interesting to see how
close it comes to what actually happens.
