Blue Sky/ July 24th/25th

Post by RichH »

Saturday is shaping up to be the better of the 2 days by the forecast..Sat is showing a strong thermal forecast 500+ in our area..Winds will be a big factor with WSW and ground speeds predicted in th 10+ range it could be a day of tricky tows..ground temps will be 100+ so if you go bring lots of water ..Cloudbase is also predicted to be 6000+ didnt catch the realitive humidity but if its over 55% Id be on the look out for possible thunderstorms in the afternoon not in the forecast but on days like these always a possibility..I m thinking of going on Sat if Steve is even towing not sure so call ahead..Hope to see you there!!

Dr. Jacks has downgraded the thermal forecast to the 400 range and the winds maybe more west than forecasted previously and possibly higher than previously forecasted..Rich
