Here we are, the last Tuesday night at the tail end of September. Usually at this time of year, we get weather that is chilly and windy, if not actually rainy. But for this Tuesday, the Weather Service is predicting mostly sunny and low 70's, which should make for a good wrap-up the 2011 season. Be sure to come early, though; it may feel more like July or August, but the sun sets around 6:30 these days.
Yesterday, the forecast just said "cloudy" for Tuesday, but now they have added "50% chance of showers". With any luck, the chance of showers will go away again, as mysteriously as it appeared.
The forecast is sunny and low 80's, and looks pretty stable, for our third-to-last night of the season.
I'm getting this one in early to remind people that we climb on Wednesday this week. Unfortunately, the chance of rain Wednesday is 60%, but at least there's plenty of time for that to change.
(For those who may not recall, we climb on Wednesday this week in order not to crowd the three-day weekend.)
Hard to believe it now, with the tail end of Irene raging outside my window, but it looks like it's going to be warm and sunny all week long. So Tuesday ought to be a slam dunk.
The forecast for Gloucester is a pleasant sunny and mid-70's. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it due to another commitment.
The forecast says 40% chance of showers for Tuesday, after 70% on Monday, which seems like tolerable odds, though damp. But I probably won't be there in any case, due to another commitment.
The forecast for Tuesday says partly sunny and mid-70's, but the evening forecast has a 50% chance of showers, continuing into Wednesday. So let's hope the wind doesn't pick up and bring the rainy weather any sooner.

The blog is back! The forecast for Tuesday is sunny and 80's, so the weather has also returned to normal. ;-}
[Another historical entry from the temporary Web page. Three climbers showed up to Den Rock, one of whom got extra gung-ho points for driving all the way to Den Rock in the rain. We did get sprinkled on, but it was only for about ten minutes and never very heavy. We only had one rope, but moved it twice, to cover a total of 6 or 7 climbs, though we only actually attempted 5 of them. The mosquitoes were fairly obnoxious; my legs are still itchy. Afterwards, we retreated to the Bollywood Grill across the street for food and drink. -- rgr, 31-Jul-11.]
The blog is still down, alas. The weather forecast for Andover says 40% chance of rain in the afternoon (but it's only 30% further south).

First update: We already have two takers, with a possible third, but we're all watching the weather. Stay tuned.

The score is now two confirmed climbers, with rumours of two more. As of 7:15, POP is down to 30% in Andover.

Oops; the latest forecast (as of 1:15 PM) now says 60% chance of rain. But it's sunny here in Woburn. I don't know what to make of that.
