Day 5, AM Flight (aka "Mornings Bad, Evenings Good")

It's windy at the hotel right now, an hour before the 5:30am briefing. We'll have to wait and see what happens...

UPDATE: It's 10 minutes after my initial post above and it's gotten even more breezy. Brad just handed me a forecast saying it was going to be 35 degrees at sunrise, 22kph at 300 AGL.

UPDATE: 15 minutes before briefing and the conditions at the Competition Center are the same. Not necessarily un-flyable, but more wind than we've seen so far. No markers on the tables and no event officials or staff walking around.

UPDATE: Briefing area open, no markers. Just a weather sheet with pibal readings of 15k on the surface. They'll start speaking at 5:45am.

FINAL UPDATE: Flight officially cancelled. The weather officer is reporting that it should be flyable this afternoon. So far 6 of the 10 tasks have been in the evening. No scores from yesterday evening have been posted yet. You can check for them by clicking here.

This website just passed the 10,000 visitor mark. Thank you.
