Friday 9 PM Weather Update

DateFriday, December 17, 2021 at 9:37PM
OK everyone, this is where we are as of 9 PM Friday. The CLT airport area forecast is saying that even if it's not actually raining, overcast cloud layer is somewhere between 1100' and 600' AGL for the daylight hours. (See pix over on FaceBook) That's not nearly enough to allow anything but the small Estes stuff to fly. Rain is on and off all day, some saying that it'll be mostly dry for the middle of the day, some saying rain bands most of the day on and off. The most reliable site that I use is fairly pessimistic.
By Sunday rain is most of the day until mid to late afternoon.
Basically what it means is we reset for the 1st and 2nd and hope we get better conditions.
Really sorry for making the call but the weather is what it is, we can't do much about it.
TB/dr
