Default This afternoon Wed 30th

Hey guys/ gals , if this afternoon is ridable, where are people goin?

Reason I ask is b/c it is forecast to be 10 degrees ( NNE )
switching to N
then switching to 350 degrees ( NNW ), and as you all know these are tricky directions

Skyway south will work if low tide, anybody going skyway N or S or bches?

I guess bahia bch close to home also works


Decisions , decisions..........

I'd be up for that except if an unexpected feeder band came by all of a sudden , then I'd have no where to put in since once you commit , you commit start to finish


I check radar this afternoon to see if we still have this nice clear area we got right now

Yeah I know I was thinking of that when I said it.... Sigh.... I dunno I may just pass and wait until it shifts west. If there's anything left, I'll go ride backside or the beaches.

I can't justify missing work for rainy gusty wind. In a month things may be better.

Is anyone going out? Just curious. Looks like it shifted a little while ago.

old port tampa has it at NNW, in another hour or so it should switch to NW, then cypress might be good, just have to keep an eye on the doppler, theres a nice band coming our way

I may be hitting backside of Skyway afterwork, assuming enough West in it by then. This would be around 6:00.

hmmm.... or Southeast end of skyway as BigR mentioned above. I'll take a look right when leaving work at about 5:30. If N or NNW South Skyway, if more NW maybe backside of north skyway.

Reddington beach and just North of it is cool for North winds, but not too convenient for me afterwork with limited time.

Good luck, I sat out at EB and the Skyway from about 8AM until 1:30 PM and now I know why they call him Josh Stinker...I mean Linker on Bay News 9. What a bummer, it doesn't take a professional meteorologist to predict that if a storm is on the way, so is wind but I would respect any meteorologist if they were calling the crappy wind thing from the get go on this one...

Just a tease to add up to our summer blues so far...
