Cutter's Call: October 2, 2026 8:22am

Report of a less bumpy day than usual on Thursday. One PG launched about 4pm and got to 4,900ft on his first thermal and never got that high again. The rest of us launched between 4:30 and 5:30 and didn't find as much love.  There were small areas of lift until 6:30. TODAY…...is looking good. The blipspot altitude is over 9K. The rasp is lower at around 7K. A good warmup and the NE is way way out back. Looks to blow in all day. The low valley air is still hazy but much less than yesterday morning. A clear blue sky is forecast by both TAF’s. Winds aloft are SE between 8 and 12kts by 2pm. Max altitude 7,000ft.
