I will wager that Bob ( the rancher to the N) has the phone numbers and contact information for some of his neighbors. Maybe he can give us that information, or you could ask him to invite his neighbors over for a coke or a beer ( might be a church goin' person who does not drink) and I do not know if it is doable by regs, but maybe one or more of them could be honary LCO's and get to push the buttom a couple of times. As for vacations, unless you are really well off and have a good foreman, there seems to always be too much to do. They might be home, so it is worth a try. Tomorrow might be a really good day to contact them. I know that the cattle ranchers who are my clients in Nebraska and elsewhere frequently call me around noon to 1 or later during their luch hour.

Looks like 40-60 knots up through FL300 at noon on Sunday.
Woohoo 🙂

Here's what I'm reading this morning from this site, for 300 mbar (around 30,000 feet)

http://squall.sfsu.edu/scripts/namjetstream_model_fcst.html

Friday noon: 100 knots, W (~275 degrees)
Saturday noon: 100 knots, W (~260 degrees)
Saturday midnight: 75 knots, WSW (240 degrees)
Sunday noon: 70 knots, SW (225 degrees)
Sunday midnight: 80 knots, SSW (195 degrees)
Monday noon: 115 knots, SSW (195 degrees)

Tuesday and Wednesday look good, though. 🙄

FWIW, 70 knots is 80 mph.

I went back to look at another site near the beginning of this thread, and it's my new favorite:

http://aviationweather.gov/adds/winds/

With it, you can easily click through different altitudes. On Sunday at noon, the map is showing pretty low/moderate winds (< 15 knots at 9,000 feet), mostly from the South, from the ground up to 12,000 feet, and then the SW winds increase to 35 knots at 15,000 feet and 65 knots at 30,000 feet.

Well your lookin at the same map I was. 😕
Maybe it is more like 60-80 knots.
I think we had 25mph gust out there today. on the surface.
