That was a delayed posting... I have decided not to race tonight.

The forecast for this evening isn't looking stellar.
"This after - Showers and thunderstorms likely, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 4pm. Some of the storms could produce gusty winds. High near 86. Southeast wind around 16mph, with gusts as high as 23mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, expect higher amounts possible in thunderstorms."
The area is also under a tornado watch until 8pm.
I'm in my slip at HHN and seeing steady 22kt winds...and that's in the slip!!!
I don't mind going out and setting up in this as this catamaran is pretty stable, but I'm not sure everyone will want to race in this. The tornado watch part is my big concern. Oh...and 22kt rain pellets hitting you in the face.
So...all that said, is anyone planning on not racing tonight due to the weather? This might help make my mind up to cancel or not.
