WEATHER

YES, I know it's two weeks out, but I couldn't resist taking a peek at the NWS prediction for the Parashant. I bookmark a NWS click forecast for Twin Point, which showed the following for this Saturday through Wednesday:

Saturday
Sunny, with a high near 71. North wind around 7 mph becoming west northwest in the afternoon.
Saturday Night
Partly cloudy, with a low around 50.
Sunday
Sunny, with a high near 76.
Sunday Night
Mostly clear, with a low around 53.
Monday
Sunny, with a high near 77.
Monday Night
Mostly clear, with a low around 53.
Tuesday
Mostly sunny, with a high near 77.
Tuesday Night
Partly cloudy, with a low around 52.
Wednesday
Mostly sunny, with a high near 75.

Gone are the below freezing temps at night and the days appear to be about as perfect as it gets. I'll update as we get closer.

NOTE

Everyone should program their radios with the NWS weather broadcast frequencies. Post up if you need the specifics.

AN INTERESTING TWIST

While the trip weather, based on our departure date, looks good, the possibility of rain just before the trip,(even though slight), raises the specter of the infamous Parashant mud.

Something I will keep investigating.

Hee is the 10 day for Parashant Recreational Area

Lets hope the soil has good drainage. Thursday is the first day without rain.

All in all the weather looks great.
