Anyone going out this afternoon? Forecasts look like there should be wind.

Debating between Jones and Manzo both look iffy for wind.
who's got the 411 on Jones? Forecast is calling for 68 in Astoria and 80 in PDX...that might not be enough.

| 10+ degrees is more than enough for Jones to go. Watch for a .04+ Westerly pressure gradient, and it should go. |

| Jones was a solid 12 meter day yesterday on the 4th. iKite forecast says that coast and Jones will be a bit windier today. Manzo looked good on sensors yesterday - so should be good today also. I think elither spot will be good. Manzo started at around noon yesterday and Jones started a 3 pm. |

| From my limited experience, Jones usually goes any time between 2 and 4:30 but tends to be rideable late in the evening, even till or past sunset. |

Manzo should go at noon or earlier today - and Jones probably wont go until 3 pm. Get to Manzo by noon - kite for an hour or so - head to Jones for lesson at 3 or 4 kite till dark. Get motivated man!!!!!!!! J/K..........  |

| Looks like Jones has already switched to a NNW from a ENE. Temp seems to be rising... now just the pressure and it should start. and switch to a WNW or just W. |
