Radar map shows a shower moving in around 1:30.  Hopefully everyone gets a good run in before then and tomorrow plays out better.

I've got to leave the computer now - but the last check on the weather at Maxton shows the rain about 20-25 miles southwest - and a southerly wind @ 5 mph.  The forecast calls for a chance of showers this morning and a really good chance of showers this afternoon.  Best of wishes to all - and do the "No Rain!" dance, you hear?

Bil Reilly, get a photo or two of your car for me before the rain starts.

It's about 2.30 Saturday afternoon - and the radar shows a nasty storm cell some 20 miles or so east of Maxton - with the wind blowing from the southwest.  The storms might even make hail!  Well, anyway, the forecast for the remainder of the weekend look okay.  Not great for sure, but okay.  Best wishes and safe runs to all.
