Long range forecasting
We all know that trying to make long range decisions based on weather forecasting can be problematic, but sometimes it's necessary. We're in Key West right now, and Leslie needs to be back in Chicago by Tuesday morning. Unfortunately, there's a slow moving system currently stretching from TX up through CO that's expected to make GA on north by Sunday and on into Monday. At this point, we're planning to leave early Sunday morning, make it as far north as possible, and resume the trip Monday.
Looking for others' take on this. Would you do the same? Try to do it all on Monday with the airlines as a fallback? Leave immediately?
The convective outlooks don't look that bad, but we're unwilling to play with TR. That's why we stopped in SRQ on the way down Tuesday.
