Difficult weekend, the timing of things are changing and it’s hard to know what will happen. Cold front coming through, but the expected timing was better the last 2 days than now. Oh well. I have family and friends in Hilton Head, where they evacuated and are fearing a 12-15′ storm surge. If they get it, the gear I have down there will probably be lost.
SAT: Rainy morning, with light S winds, possible venturi effect amplification a bit; then shifting W and favoring Big O south shores….if the shift comes before dark. Rain should let up. Not such a great day, but there might be a silver lining locally (Seneca in the AM; Big O in the PM). I wouldn’t drive far looking for wind.
SUN: Cooler (bring neoprene). N winds, not particularly strong but penetrating from Big O down to the Finger Lakes. Again, rely on local effects / knowledge to decide where/when/if to go.
On the bright side, the fall colors between Ithaca and Elmira were brilliant today, in bright sun and clear skies.
