Sorry, I guess I have not been clear...

I was hoping for a local kiter (or anyone with internet access) that I could call, or would call me during 8/28/2008-9/02/2008 to check the weather. I know it is unlikely that there will be wind. I can call friends in MI, but normally a local kiter can give a much better weather interpretation based on what the forecast says. For example, at a local spot near me, if forecast is south and it is sunny, it will most likely be ridable no matter what the number shows...and...another direction that would seem good to a non-local, is usually very gusty...

Thanks...

I know wind is unlikely, August is bad, but I'm also there September first and second. I'm sure there is a switch that clicks at midnight on August 31st....

I'm telling you guys, I'm coming down and I'm bringing the wind....

Looks like it is getting organized slightly. You can make out what looks like an eye wall forming around a center of rotation below Marathon. Feeder bands are dragging up from across Cuba to the east as it develops the characteristic counter clockwise rotation. It is interacting with the Mainland, Keys and Florida Bay and may loose some organization. The eyewall seems to collapse as it comes close to the lower Keys and what may be another is forming below it to the south. Noticed the lower Keys are seeing sustained winds to 44 mph, may build.



And, it looks like it is tracking to the NNW as they have been saying. The west coast may well be in for some wind as they have been predicting.
