Flying on Sunday 1/26
Since Bacil objected to including mention of flying at other places in his Topic about Smithsburg, it looks reasonable for HG and possibly PG at Woodstock on Sunday though on the cool side. The Pulpit looks a bit strong for HG. I am interested in flying and will be following the forecast. Who else?

Re: Flying on Sunday 1/26
I am keeping my finger crossed regarding flying Sunday @ WS or Pulpit
I personally don’t like to go to WS when is solid West or Pulpit when wind is above 10MPH (weather.com): I know I am getting old & pick
Hopefully things will be less ambiguous by Sunday 10:00Am
Concluding, I am interested!

Re: Flying on Sunday 1/26
Both options seem pretty iffy as of SatAM....
Sfc cast a bit light for WS. Strong 3k foreacst most of the day, so that might help out. Downside : seems solid W all day.
Great direction for the Pulpit, but gust factor at play on the sfc cast until the end of the day, and those 3k winds are supposed to get stronger at/after sunset.
Maybe things will be clearer tomorrow!

Re: Flying on Sunday 1/26
As of today's forecast for Sunday, looks like WS is going to be too cross (W-WSW). The Pulpit direction looks good but 20+ mph and cool in the 30's. Note that WS looks good for Tuesday for PG/HG but temp in the 30's. My interest on mtn flying this weekend is null.

Re: Flying on Sunday 1/26
I'm not seeing the hints of S that John mentions.... And though W cross isn't ideal for WS, I've flown it many times. Just have to hope that there are some decent slot-filling cycles! If not, well, don't fly eh?
So I still have Woodstock on my radar for Sunday. Will likely load up, and make a final decision based on the AM forecast updates.
