Nobody should go kiting without doing the following at a minimum:
1. Checking a good forecast for your area, including hazard precautions.
2. Checking color radar and radar for incoming storms and realtime winds upweather.
3. While you're at it, check the pressure (synoptic) map on loop. Helps to see inbound fronts, troughs, depressions, hurricanes, etc..
4. Knowing what threatening weather looks like in your area and keeping an eye out for it. If it shows up, get in early and secure before it hits.
