9:30 am Update on 3/19 & 3/20 weather:
I really wanted to post this last night but we were trying to find a better outcome. The outlook is not looking good for Saturday. Rain overnight, albeit not a lot predicted, but the winds forecast for Saturday really bites. Winds kick up to 15-25 mph basically from 11 in the morning right through to 8 PM. And, they're heading right across the field to the north tree line.
I'm still holding out hope for Sunday however. Winds top out at about 12 and they've swapped direction to more down the runway. Ralph is checking in with Kip to see what he thinks as well.
Please stay tuned later today and tonight for updates for Sunday but I really think Saturday is out as a flying day.
March 18th & 19th outlook
Weather is looking pretty good for the weekend, temps in the high 60's and low 70's, wind on Saturday higher than Sunday, 11 mph vs 7 mph, but generally going down the runway toward the driveway.
Wednesday looks like an inch of rain so hopefully that will be gone and dry enough for Saturday.
Ken's website says he's with us for both days but with ROSCO in SC rescheduling to this weekend as well due to rain he may split it up.
More as the week progresses.
