Predictions:
Following some possible lingering showers or fog, clouds are likely to remain throughout the day tomorrow on a light, but diminishing east wind. Normally we would be far from excited for these conditions, however, our biggest flight of the year so far occurred on a similar day ahead of an approaching storm. Therefore, tomorrow could be interesting as birds clearly have to take advantage of any decent conditions to make progress.
