METEO

Switzerland lies on the southern edge of a high over the North Sea. A trough is gradually approaching from the west. Mostly sunny, with some overcast conditions over the Jura and the Alps from the afternoon (MeteoSwiss).

BEO:
Despite occasional high clouds (increasing in the afternoon) development of moderate thermals, 1-4/8. Thermally flyable until 4 pm, then problematic due to shadowing and TCU.
Thermal top/base very different, above the high relief 3300 m and higher, lower it should be rather stable, later thermal development and much lower top.

Wind:
Rather weak valley winds, Thursday was east wind in Interlaklen, Friday weak west, tomorrow I expect west.
