weather

Summer conditions mid-day are usually very strong and can be dangerous. Dust devils blow through the LZ. Launch is popular in mornings when Marshall is in the clouds or there are low winds in the afternoon. Headwinds arrive here earlier than at the Marshall launch. Pilots are encouraged to launch in the first four hours after sunrise or the two hours before sunset. Sometimes sea-breeze fronts blow through, you can see them coming. And occasionally gust fronts from thunderstorms, though most thunderstorms form far enough back in the mountains as not to affect flying. wx info: http://www.crestlinesoaring.org/weather
