Forecasts showing a decent wind for tomorrow, sat 1/19. It is a south wind, was wondering if that works at strawbs.

The digital point forecast for Strawberry reads West wind 7 to 13 mph for Saturday. This could be OK. Park City Forecast is SouthWest at 7 to 9. Not so good.

Look at this link....... If the isobars are tight then it will blow. Strawberry usually works much better on a West or NorthWest than on a South. Whit

Hey Whit,
Good to see ya yesterday.

Whit has some weather credibility,
I believe Whit has a degree in meteorology from the U
I tried to talk him into more forecasts on UWA
for chasing wind, I'd follow Whit..

With that said,
I think Powder Mt has a favorable forecast today

Scattered snow showers. Partly sunny, with a temperature rising to near 21 by noon, then falling to around 12 during the remainder of the day. West wind between 13 and 17 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%.
