The weather forecasts called for the cold front to clear the area early in the morning making way for a task in the afternoon with about 3 kts lift. The task was set to Mount Forest and back to ishweken with 30 and 20 km circles.
The seminar for today was final glides presented by Joerg Steiber and Walter Weir. After the seminar and pilots meeting, the sky was clearing as forecast and cu were developing, but there was some lingering high cloud.
We launched a sniffer at 1345 and he reported 23 knots to about 2500 AGL, so the fleet was launched into a sky of developing cu. To the north the sky was blue, but to the south under the high cloud there were cu. The task comittee advised the CD to change the task in the air to use the southern area, with the new task of Woodstock, Oshweken with 20 km circles.
The lift was weak, but the task change was a good call, considering the blue to the north did not develop any lift.
