Thunderstorms predicted
« on: August 06, 2013, 04:02:27 PM »
Wunderground is predicting thunderstorms in Wendover for today (08/06/13) and tomorrow with chances of precipitation at 20% today, 10% tonight, and 20% tomorrow.  Let's hope they're extremely mistaken.  After that, they're showing 0% chance of wet stuff through 8/15/13.

It could be pouring rain in Wendover and the sun is blazing hot at the 5. It don't matter. 20% chance is nothing. See you all Saturday.

In 65' or 66' [ don't remember the right year ] we could not get on the salt till Thursday, so one of the events they held in town was the ' SCTA National Lo-Net Volleyball tournament ' held on the local tennis court

The racers were getting pretty bored and that helped a bit

With average humidity of 11%, any wets in the next coupla days will be gone.
Here's their forecast for the main part of S/W, and I'm not canceling any plans till Thurs, when "She who MUST be obeyed" says my kitchen pass has expired until BUB.

Hey, Randy!  I'll be leaving Boise about 22 hours after you.  I'm betting you'll up your record again this year.  See ya on the Salt!

If your worried, just check accuweather. All the weather sites never agree. I check them all till I see the one I like.  :-P

That being said, I've found accuweather to be the most accurate (guess they picked the right name)

Here's the URL for the National weather service.  I use it 'cause there aren't any commercials and it loads quickly -- and also because, for the most part, this is where the others get their forecasts.  Give it a try and put somebody's weather URL in your browser for quick reference.

On one rainout we sat under the shade at the hotel in lawn chairs. More & more old time racers kept showing up and joining us. Pretty soon the stories started going. I have to say that it was one of the greatest days I ever spent there listening to the old timers stories and watching as they went thru page by page of one of Don Montgomrys {?}books on Bonneville & Dry Lakes racing. Cant recall the name of the hotel but it had a small covered parking area, it was right next to the fire dept
