Had a nice flight to eastern Washington planned for this weekend. July, it's summer, right? And a nice IFR equipped C-172 all set. Thunderstorms are not common in this part of the country. Except today. Active on the west side now, and predicted in the destination area shortly after we were scheduled to arrive. 50% chance on Sunday when we were planning on returning. Let's see, thunderstorms plus C-172 = ? How about too much potential for you all to be reading an NTSB report about me. Just cancelled the plane and rental car and my wife and I will be driving over. The trip isn't optional, her high school class 40th reunion, but the mode of transportation is optional.
Now watch the weather guessers be wrong and the weather be beautiful. I'd rather be on the ground... You know the rest.
I'm firmly convinced that the IR has simply made me more of a student of the weather. And that's not a bad thing. Now to put the car on autopilot. It knows the way all too well.
