It may too earlier to call
But if the forecast is maintained it can be a good day

Thoughts? Volunteers?

Three plus days out but I like your call. As of this evening, the forecasts look good (temp, sky cover, wind direction and speed).

ugh! Morning casts have ramped up their wind speed predictions and are now suggesting 35+ mph wind gusts for most of the afternoon.

35+ MPH? Is Bacil planning to make it? :)

Seriously speaking, let us hope winds will back down by Thursday.

Wow, solid G40 in the SFC forecast for tomorrow, all day long! Looks like those hopes are disappearing Walt, bummer!

Weird, just a couple hours later and the NWS sfc hourly is down to 30 all day, rather than 40. Still not very promising for Thursday.... But does give me some hope that perhaps the forecasts for Sunday at WS will improve, who knows! :D
