Summary
- For the upcoming flight on Sunday:
- Moist margins are still uncertain: island of dry air along the EarthCare track
- Precipitation and high clouds to the south of the island of dry air

- Doldrums also located close to 10 deg
- For future flights:
- The arrival of a new easterly wave, makes the northern margin uncertain
