Wet Weather Worries/1st Leg MS 150 Cancelled

HURRICANES AND WEATHER

Storms across the south central US on Saturday with cold rain/snow mix Denver vicinity. Most of country (except Rockies and western plains) enjoying highs in 60s to 80s (even 90s in Phoenix). Cooling down on Sunday in the midwest, northeast where highs will be in the 40s and 50s. On Sunday, look for rain in the southeast (see risk maps to right).

Houston is under a Flood Watch through Saturday evening. This means conditions are favorable for heavy rain which could lead to flooding. Look for storms (mainly afternoon)...will say that models have backed off considerably on amount of water. Sunday will be sunny and pleasant with highs in the upper 70s. Enjoy!

SPANISH WORD OF THE DAY

AND MORE
MS 150--first leg on Saturday from Houston to La Grange is cancelled. There was very heavy rain in the La Grange area and the fairground where most of riders spend most of the night Saturday, is a soggy, puddle filled mess. The plan is for the riders to skip Saturday and to go to La Grange and do the 2nd leg on Sunday...weather should be quite nice for that 2nd leg. My friend Kevin, who was training diligently for his first ride, was very disappointed. He said there is no point in showing up in La Grange Saturday morning. He is not planning to do the 2nd leg. So sorry all you MS 150 enthusiasts.

Have a good weekend everyone and be safe!
