Lies, damn lies, and weather forecasting
38 58 10.92 N,75 52 0.00 W,Highland Aerosports, Ridgely,
Maryland, USA
Hard rains last night. Light rain and strong winds this morning.
Totally overcast now. From the looks of it at 8:45 AM we won't be flying today.
Here are the two forecasts for 5 PM today: RAP (XCSkies): 700-800 fpm lift, 17 knot northwest wind at 2,000'. NAM (XCSkies): 300-400 fpm lift. The wind forecast is similar enough, which is almost always
the case. Wind forecasts seem to generally be pretty accurate. The NAM forecast calls for cu's at 5 PM but the RAP says no cu's.
