10/14/26 Weather & Prep:  The forecast continues to include gusty winds up to 28 mph, with significantly increased humidity on Friday (wet stuff) and cold nighttime temperatures, especially overnight Saturday into Sunday.  At last check, we will finish the day Saturday at 46°F and start Sunday morning at 34°F .

This really rounds out the equation: Cold + Wet + Wind = Hypothermia!   A little extra prep with the right warm weather gear goes a long way to keeping you safe and comfortable.

Please Prepare!  Check your emails from Launches@hocr.org for up to date information, and dig out your winter and wet weather gear!

10/13/26: Weather/Preparation Update - current forecast includes cool temperatures and some potential for precipitation throughout the weekend. This includes some rain on Friday and temperatures dropping into the 40's F Saturday afternoon, and 30's overnight with temps in the 30's Sunday morning and climbing throughout the day.

PLEASE: TAKE THE TIME PREPARE APPROPRIATELY: Dig out winter hat, gloves, thermal base layers, and raingear.  Take a look at the You vs. The weather post on the General Info page.

To borrow from a Swedish phrase, "There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad preparation."
