  Latest Forecast Write-up  

Forecast written Friday, May 9, 2008.
Launch time target is Saturday May, 10, 2008


Your second ROC launch forecast since opening in April 2008. Welcome from OWSweather.com

Final forecast will call what we've been calling all week. Light winds, Temperatures in the 80's, and clear skies.
Driving to the launch area from the Los Angeles areas will be met with fog in the Cajon Pass during the morning so take that note of caution as you enter the pass and to the High Desert.

Temperatures at the lake bed.

8am: 62 degrees
11am: 77 degrees
2pm: 85 degrees

Average temperature during stay is 80 degrees. Average temperature means the temperature you will feel the most during your stay at the launch area.

During the afternoon expect winds blowing from the Southwest at only 10 mph with isolated gusts to 15 mph. Nothing at all worth calling a "W" factor on.

80-85 degrees
Clear skies
Light winds
