Cloudless skies. Moderate WNW winds at sites #2 & #3. WSW winds along lake
shore.

Very little raptor movement. One local BE and CH.

Predictions:
Monday: Warm, mostly sunny, and dropping pressure ahead of Tuesday's rain.
Gentle morning southerly winds; then in the afternoon onshore northerlies
converge with the southerly winds at the lake plane leaving the migration
corridor with light and variable breezes. It's anyones's guess if a flight
will materialize.

Tuesday: Mid afternoon and late evening showers. A flight before and/or
after the midday rain is possible.
