We’ve been monitoring weather from 18K to 20K (summit) through out the day. Overall tomorrow, Sunday, looks like an excellent day for summit. Our primary concern through out the day has been the projected high winds.

When we spoke with Lonnie towards late afternoon today he reported gusts of up to 30mph. Aside from that it’s been clear skies with high pressure system firmly holding.

Final call for tomorrow of whether Lonnie proceeds to summit will be made very early in the morning and we will keep you posted here.
