Line Up and Wait
I'm planning a flight on Friday from Cleveland (CGF) to Gatlinburg, TN (GKT). It looks like I'll have to deal with the remnants of hurricane Isaac. I'm VFR only, but proficient in dealing with MVFR. Can someone tell me what type of clouds and rain is normally associated with a hurricane remnant? Is it more like 4000' / 5sm, or more like 200' / 1sm? Is it generally in an organized cluster or clusters, or is it widespread?
My backup plan is to make the 9 hour drive rather than the 3.5 hour flight, and I can make that call on Friday morning shortly before I leave. I just want to know if I'm crazy for thinking this is a possibility, or if it's worth keeping a close eye on the weather to see how the conditions play out.
