Event Scheduling based on Weather

Any announcements regarding weather will be announced here, so please check back frequently.
Due to factors such as contracts in place, the rain date decision to move to Sunday will be based on the Saturday forecast at 4:00 pm on Friday.
It is possible that the Saturday opening and schedule could be pushed back if weather forecast Saturday morning suggests that timing will allow flying later on Saturday. This decision will be made by 0500 Saturday morning before teams have left for the trip to Stillwater.
If the forecast changes overnight by 0500 so much that flying isnt possible Saturday, the decision to cancel or move to Sunday will be made.
If lightning is detected within 8mi of the airfield, everyone will be asked to shelter in their vehicles for 30 min. from the last strike.
