Does a 30% chance of rain mean rain all weekend, or occasional showers?!

It snowed last year.

Overnight it stormed pretty good. But during the day the rain was light. Annual rainfall for Wendover is pretty minimal.

I think I'd rather go with this forecast

Saying it is going to rain all weekend is just depressing.

Max, you're in luck as your massive pink thong is still in the DSP car's trunk! (you'll have to ask Doug why :? )

To stay on topic, weather is out of my control, so I'll personally just be looking forward to another weekend of autocross and see what we end up with.

That depends on what kind of car you are driving. Don't sound too bad to me!

Max, if you're a smart man, you'll bring your Toyos. Even the 80+ run ones. Henry and I may run the same tires we've been using for the SD Tour and ET Pro that are 80+ run tires to show you how slow they are! You will do just fine this weekend (assuming you're on Toyos of course)...

Come on, I'm just an old, overweight Peruvian with 2 kids without a good night of uninterrupted sleep in 1.5 years now...

Forget the rain....

Forecast for parts of central Nevada (try Alamo, NV) on the way up Friday is 40mph sustained winds gusting to 73mph.

That scares me, given what I'm driving.



EDIT ADD: Okay, I feel better. Looking at the hourly the heavy winds are predicted for Friday night and winds Ely to Wendover aren't forecast to be as strong. So, we should be safely past the central NV area before the rig tipping winds are firing up.
