[BSW] Info re: weather for tomorrow's solstice walk and hooley

[Kathy Bilton]

The weather tomorrow for the Winter Solstice Walk should be nice into the 
mid-afternoon, when a cold front (not too cold though) moves into the area 
bringing us spots of rain likely and temperatures back in the seasonal 
40s.

The walk is only cancelled for pouring/steady rain, sleet/ice, or snow, 
not mist, light drizzle, or fog.

We will stay within a quick walk's distance back to the parking area in 
the afternoon though just to be safe, and we may have to curtail the walk 
by an hour or so.  Still should be plenty of time to leisurely see lots of 
great things!

See Jim Long's forecasts:

FYI, here are a couple weather reports. Should be ok, but I'd dress for
possible showers and wet ground.

"Tomorrow (Sunday): A cold front crosses the area during the day. We 
should see enough warm southerly flow ahead of it to get us well into the 
50s, or even above 60 in spots before it passes. It won't rain all day but 
we could see a few waves of more concentrated showers, some of which could 
be heavy with gusty winds. Behind the front, temperatures head downward 
and winds start gusting again from the northwest. We may see a few 
snowflakes as precipitation ends near evening. Confidence: Medium-High"
