Weather Forecasting
On the BBAA website you can find Clear Sky Charts
[9]
for the Hampton Roads area. The chart is
a time line for weather. If you click on the chart, you will link to a detailed explanation. You will
also find links to other charts. Pick the closest one to you for local weather conditions. For
example, let’s use the Northwest River Park chart: The first 4 bars are the most important: Is it
cloudy? How clear is the sky? What is the “Seeing”, and finally, how dark is it? The deeper blue
the squares are, the better. In the
chart below, Monday night looks
very good, while Tuesday will be
cloudy.
