If thermal approaches..Take immediate action. Go to your workshop check the battery charge in your sailplanes, load them in your car and head to the WMSS flying field. At 10:15 AM satellite and Doppler radar detection network indicate a cluster of severe thermals over West Michigan and east of Sparta, MI tracking to the east northeast at 5 to 10 mph. Another cluster of thermals is expected later this afternoon and will be accompanied by cumulus clouds. These thermals are capable of producing monster lift with vertical wind gusts near 30 mph..Be very careful that your batteries have a FULL charge as you can expect very long flights with a duration of over 1/2 hour. There is also a risk of facial sunburn due to solar radiation, as you will be staring at the sky for long durations. Be sure bring sufficient sun block for your protection.
