  27 August looks like a nice day. Not much lift but great for training. Light winds, few clouds.
  
  28 August ok but not great. May be flyable early. Chance of rain.
  
  Sign up now!

  Hello:
  
  I signed up via Book Our Plane for Saturday morning. No other reservations were seen.
  
  The forecast looks good for Saturday while Sunday looks marginal (as Steve has mentioned).
  
  Saturday: Patchy fog before 8am. Otherwise, mostly sunny, with a high near 84. Calm wind becoming south southeast around 5 mph in the morning.
  
  Sunday: A slight chance of showers, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 10am. Partly sunny, with a high near 87. South wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%.
  
  See you tomorrow!
  
  Regards,
  
  Rich

  Saturday recap. It was an exciting day! The highlight was a FIRST SOLO by Wil! Congratulations and best wishes on achieving your next goals.
  
  A total of 16 flights today. Thanks to Gary for doing all of the tows. Mixed in there were flights for our newest member Armando, Kevin getting checked out in the 2-33 after solos in the Krosno. Andy earing his C badge, and Animesh treating his sister to 2 flights. His first passenger since earning his Private rating.
  
  Thanks to everyone that pitched in, ran wings, kept the times, mowed and who knows what else. What a great family we have here.

  Now, as for Sunday. Weather shows a chance for showers but if there is interest let us know and we well attempt to have an operation. Rockford TAF is FM281300 18010KT P6SM BKN060. What’s it say?
  <table border=”0″ cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”3″>
  <tbody>
  <tr>
  <td align=”right”>Winds:</td>
  <td>from the S (180 degrees) at 12 MPH (10 knots; 5.1 m/s)</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td align=”right”>Visibility:</td>
  <td>6 or more sm (10+ km)</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td align=”right”>Ceiling:</td>
  <td>6000 feet AGL</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td align=”right” valign=”top”>Clouds:</td>
  <td>broken clouds at 6000 feet AGL</td>
  </tr>
  </tbody>
  </table>
  So where is the rain? Read on.
  <table border=”0″ cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”3″>
  <tbody>
  <tr>
  <td align=”right”>Forecast type:</td>
  <td>PROBABLE: 30 percent likelihood of the following during this time</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td align=”right”>Visibility:</td>
  <td>6 sm ( 10 km)</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td align=”right”>Ceiling:</td>
  <td>5000 feet AGL</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td align=”right” valign=”top”>Clouds:</td>
  <td>broken clouds at 5000 feet AGL</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td align=”right” valign=”top”>Weather:</td>
  <td>-SHRA (light rain showers)</td>
  </tr>
  </tbody>
  </table>
  30 percent of showers equals 70 percent of no showers. So speak up. It should be worth the effort.
