Windy forecast 6 and 7 May

The forecast for this weekend looks like it will be a bit too windy for flying. Saturdays forecast is missing from the Blipmap. The BOM has the wind as being on the strong side. Normally anything over 15 to 20 km/h means the day will be too strong. This is backed up by the Winidity forecast. Dragging the altitude scale up, the wind soon gets very strong. the forecast for the wind is to increase throughout Saturday and Sunday morning before easing in the afternoon on Sunday.

If we are lucky there is a slight chance of a glass off very late on Sunday afternoon, but that is a fair way off for the forecast and the direction is predicted to be very south in the current forecast...

Starting to get a bit tired of writing up bad forecasts. Where is the good flying weather?
