Press conference / morning update on the Santiago crew crash last night:
This guy gives daily California weather briefings he is pretty spot on! just thought I’d throw this out for anyone interested.
Yeah I’ve been watching him for a bit now. Great stuff. He’s pointing out the models are showing a probable off shore wind event at the end of the month for NorCal.
