Chance for rain today with increasing chance of
thunderstorms late this afternoon. Flow
will continue to be northerly and light today. Rain will clear out by Friday.
Winds will become more westerly on Friday and speeds around hub height will continue to average
around 2 m/s. On Saturday the winds will
increase slightly and will have a southerly component. On Sunday the NAM is showing a southwesterly
wind component with wind speeds around hub height increasing up to about 8m/ in
the morning until about midday. On
Monday high pressure dominates aloft and dry air will move back into the area.
Winds will be weak and be more northerly until Tuesday when they will become
more northwesterly. The northwesterly
flow should continue into Wednesday.
If Clara's forecast holds, then I would recommend that we do uninstrumented flights on Monday afternoon (when the lidar may be operating) just to verify where the wake is, and then hope for instrumented flights Tuesday and or Wednesday.
