MTMA model rocket and NRC launch is NOGO

The forecast is deteriorating. Gusts up to 20 mph are predicted, which is no fun at all. Standby for a likely cancellation.

There is an increasing chance for rain in the afternoon so we'll just go until it starts to look like rain, or we decide to pack up. Show up early and check out the new field!

Tomorrow's launch is on, starting a 3:00 PM. Reminder - bring some food to pass for the pot luck dinner. The forecast is about a 50% chance for rain at 5:00 pm, but those odds go down after that time.

Kevlar shock cord
