Thursday Day 12 - Contest Day 7 15m/18m, Contest Day 8 for Open Class

Good Morning Canada!

What was a clear sky this morning is now filling in with mid level cu / strato cu cloud. The forecast is calling for weak conditions. In light of this it seems strange that the organizers have set very large tasks with over 430 km for 15m on task A with task B not much smaller.

In the meantime they have issued tasks C for 15m and 18m but there still seems to be a disconnect between the forecast weather and the task expectations.

The grid will close at 11:15 with the first launch planned for 11:30.

It looks like this will be the last contest day of the 31st Worlds since we are expecting a system to move through tomorrow.
