I've been hearing that the weather all morning has been MVFR/IFR with some pretty heavy rain at times. It looks like there may be some more storms this afternoon as well.

Tomorrow is supposed to be nice... I'll keep my fingers crossed that today is the only bad day.

Sounds like it's been a rough morning up there. It's been IFR most of the morning and when the field finally went MVFR an hour ago an F-16 landed on 36L, over ran the runway and collapsed it's nose gear. I think they finally now are letting people land on 36R. Hopefully this afternoon is better...
