A couple of maybe-useful weather links

The NOAA keeps remote weather stations near some of our sites. They record temps, wind speed and direction, and other stuff and graph it for the last 24 hours. Might be useful for seeing what it was doing when you got that killer XC flight, or when you didn't go out cause it didn't look good. You can even tell what time it OD'ed by looking at the solar radiation graph.

Check it out:

Mt. Hopkins, a few miles south of Box, altitude 7120 MSL: http://raws.wrh.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/roman/ ... time=LOCAL

Carr Canyon, below Miller north launch at an altitude of 5650 MSL: http://raws.wrh.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/roman/ ... time=LOCAL

Empire Ranch, in the neighborhood of Charlies and Antelope training hills, altitude 4650 feet: http://raws.wrh.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/roman/ ... time=LOCAL

The main index for the entire southwest is at http://raws.wrh.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/roman/ ... rawsflag=2
