Tropical Storm 16 ( or Nicole if it hits the speed category) is slated to hit our area Thursday , worsening towards the evening. But Friday , Northwest winds predicted later in the day though it shifts in the morning ( but I think the overcast and rain event will affect migration so late Friday and early morn Saturday better chances for birds). You can't tell with these winds and the timing, but just a heads up with this good fall wind in case you take the initiative. Kingsboider

Thursday
Rain. Rain may be heavy at times. Windy and humid with highs in the mid 70s. Southeast winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 40 mph...increasing to 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 50 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain near 100 percent.
Kingsboider note: There is a very good possibility that the 7-10 Thursday Morning Walk starting at Bartel Pritchard park entrance, will be cancelled. But Peter will be there ( to see if anybody brave enough appears) to judge weather conditions at the time and decide go or no. Predicted gusty winds and heavy rain is a hazard to deal with , esp after last week's tree shaking storm event .STAY TUNED for later message tonight.
