Russ,We flew from KFMY to Tavares arriving about 945am in clear, smooth, dry air. Return flight was from maybe 2pm and was entirely VMC with a few bumps and a couple of very, very light showers but nothing of any concern. At Tavares I felt a couple of drops for a minute or two. You shudda come!<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->

Russ, here's one photo of the typical weather southbound from Tavares in mid-afternoon, all VMC, a couple of light showers easily averted and cumulous above. Our flight plan was KFMY CROWD FA1 which took us just west of your lake.<img src="inline/10080-P1100265.jpg" alt="P1100265"><!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML.

I've grown a bit cynical about weather radar displays. <br /><br />Most of the time for the past couple of years I've used Garmin Pilot on my iPhone to decide whether it's going to rain enough not to fly. In the Mid-Atlantic area, at least, Garmin's light green usually means no perceptible rain at all, or possibly a bit of virga. Medium green means there might be a few drops on the windscreen, but not enough to call it rain, and it rarely reaches the ground.<br /><br />Unfortunately, however, sometimes even the light green stuff turns out to make the ground wet. So I haven't figured out yet what to believe.<br /><br />A guy at the airport up in Wellsville, PA, (2N5) once told me what he does about weather indecision: 'Go up and see for yourself,' he said. 'If you don't like it, come back down.' Of course, that advice can turn out to be fatal now and then. But I did, and--that day--liked what I saw.

I hope everyone had a safe flight home and I'm glad you found some good air Frank and if you went West over toward Tampa you probably missed the thunderstorm's. This predicting the weather game caught me last week so to say I judged the weather on Saturday morning with a little more caution than I might have before my Dos Boat ride, would be an understatement. I have to get the plane out of the water at my house and if the wind is blowing from the wrong direction it's all but impossible to do so even if there is no rain. Afternoon thunderstorms pop up in Florida starting about this time of year along a line where the East and West cost sea breezes meet usuall in the middle of the State and along what is known as the I4 corridor. I left Tavares around 2:30 PM and I ran into the a big thunderstorms just past the turnpike on SR 19 and it had rained all along 33 through Groveland which is the way I would have had to fly to get home from Tavares. I did snap a couple of photos the one of the showers I would have had to fly around or through.
