No white hat then?

Update... temperatures Saturday through Monday will be about normal,
with highs in the low 90s under the influence of high pressure. Good
blue soaring. A cold front is expected to approach Tuesday and pass
through Wednesday (a bit early for precise timing). If it's like the
last one we just had, it should bring enough moisture for cumulus for
a couple of days in the middle of the contest and some honking good
soaring. White hat will be on standby!

Update:

Temperatures have climbed close to the century mark in the past day or
two, but will drop back down to the mid nineties by the start of
Region 9. Forecasts are now showing both low pressure systems and
fronts will impact southern Arizona Monday through Wednesday. These
will increase winds on the first few task days but are also forecast
to increase moisture and should provide good cumulus through the mid
part of the week.
