Looks like the Einsteins in Washington ( not the State ) are about to makes the skies less safe.

Looks as if the move afoot is to rely only on Area Forecasts. Couple this with losing your local FSS and you get no local knowledge or reports.

I don't know about the rest of you but there are some really big bumps in the road around here and the microclimate weather is very tricky.

I doubt I can dig out the local information needed from the Area Forecast and if my briefer is in lower East ( name the city with the most powerful Senator )I doubt they will be much help on the local conditions either.
