The Official Weather Blog for OD Nats

Welcome to the official weather blog for the 2011 US Open Distance Paragliding competition held in lovely Provo, Utah. This blog will be used to broadcast the weather forecasts and updates throughout the competition. Every pilot is encouraged to review this blog daily for the most current weather analysis and comments from local pilots.

The format of the blog will be something like this:

  • The weather summary for the day will be available every morning by 8:30 AM. As the morning evolves, the comments on the daily forecast entry will be updated as needed.

  • A weather review will be written after each day to compare how well the forecast predicted conditions. This exercise allows for everyone to trend how the days are evolving together, as opposed to taking the daily forecast as gospel.

  • Additional notes, pictures, etc will be added to illustrate various weather conditions.
