Fading non windy post frontal.

Nice balance of development without OD.  Pretty easy going for the most part.  Better than minimum go altitudes when needed.   Some broken choppy punchy thermal turb in places, but also some big smooth fattys.

Not much wind. Variable drift.  Light SW down lower, and a little NE in places.  More NE toward LA.  It was starting to push down the drain paths as the Santa Anna event began to develop late in the day.  Not much flow in the Santa Clara.  It was downriver from the east most of the day, but did switch later, but not robust enough for big convergence climbs.
