Competition News

After a cloudy but mostly dry day today, we see a good chance for a task tomorrow:

The pressure increases in the north, to a difference between Zurich and Lugano of up to 6 hPa before noon, and then starts to drop again, but will influence the weather here throughout the day: Accelerated valley wind, and drier, cooler and more stable air flowing in.

At 3000 m, the wind starts out from West, and turns towards NW throughout the day, at around 15-20 km/h. At 4000 m it turns more towards SW and reaches up to 35-40 km/h.

We will see some low, fog-like clouds in the morning, but they should dissolve between 10 and 11. Cumulus clouds above, with a cloud base at around 2800 to 3000 m. The thermals will be weaker than yesterday.

There is a risk of rain to the South of us, where more humid air arrives from the South-West. The northern side of the Rhine valley should remain dry.

Therefore, the plan for tomorrow: go up with the 9:30 / 10:00 cable car, be ready for a briefing at Caischavedra middle station at 10:30.

The next update follows tomorrow at 8:00, to confirm the timing, or announce adjustments should the forecast change drastically.

P.S. Saturday still looks fantastic!
