April 8 OLLI Field Birding Class Weather UPDATE

I'll be at the Cape Henlopen Nature Center at 8 am today.

It is presently 5:30 am Wed, and IT IS A TOUGH CALL!!!

First of all, NOAA and Weather Underground do not agree. Neither has a good forecast, but Weather Underground's is not too bad, and my read of the radar images and rain forecast agrees with them.

So lets leave it this way.....I'll be there at 8 am. If you are up to birding in some rain, and wind, please join me. We will probably end on the early side. Our travels will be mostly in our cars, and we will bird mostly via telescope, protected by umbrellas. It is quite cold.....44 degrees right now, so dress warmly if you do decide to be adventuresome.

Your choice.........Bill


---------------Following from 3 pm Tue......................

I am following the weather, and presently I think we are still a GO for tomorrow.

From NOAA at 3 pm Tue, Wed forecast is:    
A chance of rain. Cloudy, with a high near 51. Northeast wind around 17 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible

I will decide go/no-go before 6 am tomorrow (4/8), and post the decision here by 6 am. Looks like we will have some rain, but light. Even so bring at least a rain repellent jacket....plus 51 degrees with 17 mph winds is COOL, so dress warmly.
