The first day was pretty straight forward, the weatherman was mostly
right, on the second day the thermals were not as good as predicted
and several pilots started the task too fast. Everyone had a low save
story for the day and there were landouts in every class.

Today the weather is forecast to get up to 97 degrees F. with lift
perhaps up to 10K

We'll see.
