Nuking!
Hope folks are staying out of the violent winds coming with some of the frontal squall lines.
This blew through Cocoa earlier today: This is what they were having chickens about on the Weather Channel this morning. That is violent convection associated with the cold front, worried about bow echos, tornados and damaging winds. Guess what blew through Jacksonville, FL? This is part of what is moving through: That could be a bow echo around Cocoa close to the time of the wind spike. More about these bad boys HERE Found some real mellow riding conditions in the Tampa Bay area grabbing the front squall line as it barrels ashore: Where's your 6 m? Then again, how do you fly a 6 m in 5 mph, then 48 mph? Tricky

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. More at: http://fksa.org/forumdisplay.php?f=12 under squalls and fronts You can do one stop shopping for much of this info in the various quadrant forums for the state, like: http://fksa.org/showthread.php?p=39705#post39705 http://fksa.org/showthread.php?t=6739
