Looking at the soaring weather report from https://skysight.io for Friday, May 17th, looks very nice for training and cross country flights.
The prediction is for lift to 6,000AGL at 4kts, cumulus clouds, winds 220 at 2-3kts , 77 degrees.
Lets make a day of it as the weekend’s weather is not as good. I will be out around 10AM and hope others will too.

As sometimes happens with Chicago weather, the SkySite forecast has changed with Saturday looking better than Friday. But who knows.
> Friday May 17 – Looks good for training but not necessarily cross country.
Lift to 5500 MSL, very few if any CUs, winds 300 at 5kts gusting to 7kts, temp 76
> Saturday May 18 – Looks good for training and cross country.
Lift to 6000 MSL, CUs starting at 1100h lasting all day, winds 192 at 7kts gusting to 11kts, temp 81
> Sunday May 19 – Looks good for training but not necessarily cross country.
Lift to 4000 MSL, very few if any CUs, winds 90 (lake breeze) at 5kts gusting to 7kts, temp 79

I did review the FREE soaring weather tool at http://www.drjack.info/BLIP/univiewer.html which gave a similar forecast for Friday through Sunday.
