Maybe Wind for this Sunday

Just checking to see who actual looks at this blog.
There really is a forecast for south wind on Sunday. I was thinking about going up late in the day on Saturday and Camping at the Plattsburg State Park. Try and get a late day session and something on Sunday. Kind of need to get out of town.
Please comment if your interested and the forecast holds.

New study in U.S. suggests wind is noticeably slowing

WASHINGTON — The wind, a favorite power source of the green energy movement, seems to be dying down across the United States. And the cause, ironically, may be global warming — the very problem wind power seeks to address.

The idea that winds may be slowing is still a speculative one, and scientists disagree whether that is happening. But a first-of-its-kind study suggests that average and peak wind speeds have been noticeably slowing since 1973, especially in the Midwest and the East.

“It’s a very large effect,” said study co-author Eugene Takle, a professor of atmospheric science at Iowa State University. In some places in the Midwest, the trend shows a 10 percent drop or more over a decade. That adds up when the average wind speed in the region is about 10 to 12 miles per hour.

There’s been a jump in the number of low or no wind days in the Midwest, said the study’s lead author, Sara Pryor, an atmospheric scientist at Indiana University.
