Morning Folks:
I usually start watching the weather a week or so before I am ready to head
out on long cross country flights. Decided to take a quick look at what is
happening a week before departure. Noticed Texas was a little windy next
week, then pulled up Clovis, NM, one of my fuel stops:
Monday: Sunny, with a high near 86. Windy, with a west southwest wind 15 to
20 mph increasing to between 35 and 40 mph. Winds could gust as high as 55
mph.
Looking at weather like that makes me want to cancel my flight. Not only is
the wind blowing like mad, it is blowing the wrong way.
During the 2008 flight, John Williamson and I spent three days at Ontario,
Oregon, waiting for the wind to calm a little. It blew steady at 45 mph
with gusts to 55 mph the entire time. Felt strange leaning into the wind
every time we went outside.
Here's hoping for favorable winds out of the SE going, and out of the NW
returning home.
No matter what, we can't change it.

The forecast only goes out a week, but it looks good once you get out here. God speed and safe flying!
