Saturday looks pretty good for Miller HG, may be a little strong for PG.
6000' winds aloft are predicted E 10-15 all day long. Dr. Jack thinks the thermals will be moderate, 400-600 fpm, and the top of lift and -3 will be reasonable if not epic, 13k and 10k respectively.
Anyone interested?

Re: Miller mañana?
Not that it looks real good for XC this weekend, but be aware there is a TFR for this Saturday and Sunday around Libby Field in Sierra Vista. It extends from 9000 MSL to 18000 MSL to a distance of 8 nautical miles from the airport in approximately a half-circle with the flat side parallel and slightly north of Fry boulevard.
If XC this weekend to the northeast or northwest, stay well south of Libby field until at least 8 nm from the airport.
