Weather Forecast from the NWS:

Thursday: Showers. High near 61. West southwest wind between 5 and 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%.

Thursday Night: A 40 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 49. West northwest wind between 3 and 9 mph.

I am here! It's a little chilly, raining off and on. Not sure about the wind yet, I am in the media tent.

The wind is the typical swirly mess. Cross/tail/head. It was sunny for awhile but now it's rainy.

OK we're about to get underway... the rain has stopped. Wind has calmed down a little but still swirly.

Warmups were pretty hit and miss for everyone. Lots of run throughs. Colwick ran through all of his long run warmups.

We're underway! Bar at 5.00m.

Olhovsky passes, Klas clears.

Passes for Roth, Haynie, Little, Sparks. Dominguez bails out. Colwick passes. Clark bails out.

Holtz comes down on the bar and misses.

RUn through for Kearney.

Jodon takes his time, waits for the wind... and makes it over!

Five alive, so we should be returning to the first 4 guys who missed.

Dominguez has a scary miss... he doesn't get off the ground very well, and bends the crap out of the pole (like almost a Besmer). It shoots him off to the side and the pole pops out of the box, causing the plug to fly off.
