I only forecast the weather.  Flight delays are way too complicated for me.


Oh boy, I hustled today and added 825 gallons of capacity to my rainwater system.  Bring it on. 


You will fly all right, it is just time and date that is unknown at this time.

only the Lightning would've a flying issue and it's supposed to end by afternoon. Your biggest problem will be the back up or cancellations from earlier in the day.


The rain will be ending this morning.  The Flood Watch has been lifted.
