The symposium is being helped by "Mr. Weather," as he is called in Southern
California, a weather honcho in the FAA.  He's a former supervisor at LA
Center and the guy who creates and manages presidential TFRs from the
Rockies westward. I asked him a personal favor, to create a custom weather
outlook for symposium attendees.  Here 'tis, and looking good:

 

Synoptic Weekend Outlook

for

North Central Texas

 

Friday, May 19, 2006  to  Sunday, May 21, 2006

 

 

Friday, May 19, 2006

 

Umbrellas will be needed, but not so much for any rain, but to keep the sun
off.

 

There will be a daytime high in the mid 90's with a nighttime low in the
upper 60's.

 

Travelers can expect southwesterly winds at 10 knots, with a few clouds at
8,000 feet or sky clear conditions.  Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions
will prevail.  A high pressure area centered in the Texas coastal waters
will dominate with a ridge extending through central Texas into central and
southern Oklahoma. Very little or no precipitation is expected except for
very widely scattered thunderstorms.  

 

Saturday, May 20, 2006

 

There will be a daytime high in the mid to high 90's with a nighttime low in
the upper 60's to low 70's.

 

Travelers can expect a few clouds at 8,000 feet with higher scattered cirrus
clouds above at 25,000 feet or sky clear conditions.  By and large it will
continue to be strictly VFR and warm with south westerly winds at 10 to 15
knots.  Generally through the area there will be below normal or no
precipitation except for a possibility of widely scattered thunderstorms
from the Texas panhandle through west Texas.  Any thunderstorm activity will
probably be due to a weak surface trough expected to develop on a line from
Dodge City, KS through the Texas panhandle and then southwestward to Midland
and the Fort Stockton area.  

 

Sunday, May 21, 2006

 

There will be a daytime high in the low to mid 90's with a nighttime low in
the upper 60's to low 70's.

 

Travelers can expect widely scattered air mass thunderstorms mostly confined
to the area from the Texas panhandle southward to the Big Bend area.
Otherwise it will be mostly partly cloudy skies with scattered clouds at
8,000 feet and scattered cirrus clouds at 25,000 feet.  Generally over the
area it will be below normal or very widely scattered precipitation.  A weak
trough will persist on a line from the panhandle of Oklahoma southward
through Wichita Falls, TX and then further southward to the Big Bend area.

 

Pilots are urged to contact Flight Service (1-800-WX-BRIEF) for a complete
weather briefing prior to any flight.
