I intend to follow Jack's pattern of preparing the forecast midday/early pm with a further update in the evening. However as this is a Flying Week at my own club there may be days with late evening update only. Any variations in the update schedule will be shown below. For those who fly in the south I have included links to clubs who provide daily local forecasts.
