iParaglide Right Site Ranking:
Paragliding not recommended in Chiilwack today. Woodside with NE wind aloft combined with advanced Peak Lapse rate -2.8C/1000ft creating dangerous turbulent lee side conditions. Although NE winds aloft favour Bridal for soaring, predominantly east outflow in valley, strong lapse rate of -2.8C/1000ft and POP increasing to 60% with possibility of thunder showers by mid to late afternoon make for too unpredictable conditions to fly.
Paragliding not recommended in Vancouver today due to NE winds aloft placing mountain in lee side.
Paragliding not recommended today in Whistler and Pemberton due to NE winds aloft placing sites in lee side and 30% POP with a chance of thunderstorm in afternoon.
Paragliding not recommended today in Bellingham or Seattle today due to NE winds aloft placing sites in lee side.
