Pulpit Sat13Apr?

Post by markc »

The forecast has improved a bit at the Pulpit: W@6 on the sfc until 1pm. Add the usual +5-10 that we typically see at launch.... Could be good! Who's in?

Hmmm..... That hourly SFC forecast seems overly optimistic/old. KHGR is already reporting SW. The weather station at launch is down, so can't crosscheck against what it's reporting. But I'm not as motivated as an hour ago ;-)

Go figure: NW@8 for the latest KHGR reading. Updated hourly has pushed the SW swing to 3pm or later. Starting to get motivated again :)

I'll at least throw the Falcon on and head toward Smithsburg. If other pilots start chiming-in for a Pulpit day, will redirect.

The weather station is now working and it looks good at noon. I am heading for the Pulpit ETA about 2 PM.
