SUN 'n FUN Daily Weather Roundup starts next week...

[Scott Dennstaedt, PhD]

For those interested, my Daily Weather Roundup for SUN 'n FUN starts next week on Wednesday, March 30th. Join me live on the EZWxBrief YouTube channel beginning at 3 pm eastern time.  If you are flying you may want to watch each day to gain a better appreciation of the weather challenges that you may face flying to the event.  Even if you are not flying to SUN 'n FUN or even attending the event, it may be an educational opportunity to learn how to interpret medium- to long-range forecasts. Each daily broadcast will be 20 to 30 minutes long and that includes a broadcast on Saturday and Sunday at the same time. The last live broadcast will be on Monday, April 4th. They will be recorded and available on the same YouTube channel shortly after the broadcast ends.  

At the moment, the GFS model is predicting a potent upper-level trough moving out of the southern Rockies on Wednesday morning, but a ridge dominates most of the eastern U.S. during the early part of the week providing for nice weather in that area.  This is more than 10 days out, so there's a lot of uncertainty here in this forecast.

I have been enjoying these daily weather briefs. Highly instructive stuff. The repeated, daily attention on weather builds a lot of proficiency.

It's interesting that you say this.  When I set out to do these daily briefings they were not meant to be "training" videos, but informational...that is, give you some basic weather guidance so the viewer was better prepared to make decisions about a proposed flight. I had never intended these to have any intrinsic training value.  Most of the comments that I've gotten over the last few weeks from pilots tuning in every day is that the real value in these videos isn't the weather information I'm providing, but the training that comes packaged with them.  As you say, the repetitive nature of these daily briefings is driving home a significant educational component.  This was a pleasant surprise.  

Thanks for tuning in!
