I have picture of smoke going dead ass vertical from the grill from '13. I somehow managed to be involved with the 09 race too.

Can’t see the smoke, but this was the moment you were describing. At least the dogs were good.

Funny you say that because I too have been watching those 2 and the PWG/PWE for a while now and they are rarely in agreement.
I think some can be attributed to the lack of micro-climate consideration e.g. sea breeze. However, with the lake warming I've noticed that effect diminishing so the forecast disagreements must also be larger scale differences in the algorithms.

Better hope this Pressure Map situation changes by Saturday! This is the Wednesday outlook. That big "H" in the sky is going to make Chi Mac worst than the current Port Huron one!

Well maybe but the things were like $13 bucks a throw, and may be th difference between some of us getting to race vs. not. I'm getting inspected on Friday-- they already sent out t list of most common shortcomings.... so I'm grateful to have found them...
(Dont get mad Dry...just idle conversation...)
Would say that NCEP's products are beginning to show way different conditions by the weekend...
BTW, picked those off of Mark Thornton's most excellent site:

Will be interesting to see what the SPC Day 3 Outlook shows in a couple days...

They were ready to fill the demand, that is smart. I didn't mean it to sound like they were gouging anyone.
Those flares are fuckin' expensive and worth every penny.
