[Ansteorra] Weather for Champions of Bonwicke

[HE Kainin Tepesa]

Greetings Ansteorra,

As Bonwicke is actually 3 and 1/2 hours from the 
site for Champions I have had to do some digging 
for weather information. Below you will find many 
links and all kinds of information. However it 
all boils down to this; there is a tornado watch 
in effect for the county that the site is located 
in and those to the north of it. This means there 
are favorable conditions for spawning a possible 
tornado. At the very least some thunderstorms 
(possibly severe) are likely tonight. The weather 
looks much brighter for tomorrow with only a 
slight chance of continued rain, the big issue is 
tonight.

My suggestion, if you are concerned, would be to 
wait until after 6:00pm to see if the watch is 
lifted and what the weather looks like at that 
point before you take to the road. If you are 
traveling, keep any eye on the weather and an ear 
to local radio stations. Alternatively, you could 
wait and travel to the site in the morning. We 
will be happy to push back our start times to 
accommodate those coming in the morning. There is 
a hall on site and I am currently trying to 
insure that we will have access to it tonight in 
case of bad weather.

This is Western Ansteorra and as the saying goes 
"If you don't like the weather, wait a minute". 
We hope to see you all this weekend and we will 
make the most of the weather as it comes. Be 
safe, that is the most important thing.

In service,
Kainin Tepesa,
Baron of Bonwicke
