Been using similar approaches for many years with reasonable results. Other times, like around Kevin's accident, it wasn't on for realistic kiting, it was that simple. Restraint in all things, if conditions don't look good for your skill level or aren't sufficiently free of weather hazards, don't go.

Moved things around in this post. A shorter weather planning and monitoring version appears in the second post above along with links to resources for various parts of Florida.
