High pressure for this week is predicted to remain in control until Saturday night late when a cold front will push in bringing cooler temps and northerly winds. When the front arrives seems to be up in the air (ha ha). Also a question about Hurricane Sandy and when/if that will affect us at all Sunday

Very early Wind and weather forecast for 10/26-28 off Thomas Point:

10/26:
Winds E 5-6 kts.
Winds NE 3kts
Winds NE, ENE 5kts, backing and diminishing through the afternoon.
Low Tide: 09:02, High Tide: 15:12
High Temp: upper-60s

As a strategic matter, this means we will look for oscillations in wind until around 1:30PM or so, when we should look for a persistent backing.

10/27:
Winds E 5-6 kts. Starting to veer to SE in the late afternoon.
Winds NE 8-9 Kts, Backing in the late afternoon.
Winds NE 9 kts, increasing and veering in the late afternoon.
Low Tide: 09:37, High Tide: 16:02
High Temp: mid-60s

Strategy, Start looking for the persistent veer in the later races (maybe only the last race), so head right upwind.

10/28:
Winds NNW 11 kts. Starting to veer to SE in the late afternoon.
Winds: NNE 13-15, backing in the afternoon
Winds NNE 13-16, backing in the late afternoon, probably after we're done.
Low Tide: 10:09, High Tide: 16:46
High Temp: mid-50s

Strategy, work the oscillations, watch for a back in the late race.
