Weekend - August 12/13, 2017

Unread post by bdg » Sun Aug 13, 2017 12:28 pm

Well - after a wonderful week of weather (which I personally could not enjoy but which others were able to fly!) the weekend was a change... The showers started on Saturday ~9-9:30am after only a few flights... but at least we were able to have some flights!

Sunday was better, for sure. Humid with a cross-wind but some great flights. Decent turn-out too but there is always more sky for others!! Heavy mist started at ~11:20am and the parking lot started to clear out.

Already looking forward to next weekend!!!

The long range forecasts from the Canadian and US models show rain on Saturday with strong winds, and Sunday is also a bit iffy. People should be tentative about plans until Wednesday, much better accuracy in the 72 hr forecasts.
