The postponement flag was lowered and flag "R" displayed indicating that the course will again be in Narragansett Bay between Gould Island and Prudence Island. Racing is scheduled to start at 1200. High tide was at 1008 this morning, so the current will be ebbing all day during racing. The weather forecast is a bit mixed. Fog this morning (which caused the delay in the start time) has burned off some, but low clouds are preventing a complete clearing so far. Wind is currently from the south but lighter than the previous two days. The forecast has the wind slowly veering from south-southwest to west-southwest during the day with winds in the 9-14 range. There will be a strong cold front passing through the area this afternoon which will bring strong gusty winds from the northwest, squalls and rain...hopefully we will be off the water well before this frontal passage.
The weather on Friday behind the cold front looks spectacular...a clear crisp oscillating northwesterly...perfect fall New England weather.
