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?

So where is the rain? Read on.

<td align=”right”>Forecast type:</td>
<td>PROBABLE: 30 percent likelihood of the following during this time</td>

<td>6 sm ( 10 km)</td>

<td align=”right”>Ceiling:</td>
<td>5000 feet AGL</td>

<td align=”right” valign=”top”>Weather:</td>
<td>-SHRA (light rain showers)</td>

30 percent of showers equals 70 percent of no showers. So speak up. It should be worth the effort.
