We had a beautiful flight this morning out of Argyle with a couple of folks on a Private Flight.
An aerial view of the mother-in-law apartment. My passengers who have flown from Argyle will be familiar with the back story.
Well, those of you who are planning on visiting the Adirondack Balloon Festival will not be happy with the weather forecast. As I type this blog post (3:48 PM 9/20/13), I suspect that the wind will present a problem due to speed and direction out at the airport for the Friday PM launch. And then, the rest of the weekend looks difficult, tho you may see a few fly on Saturday morning, but the speed and direction of the wind will be a problem again for flying from the airport. I am sure there will be a few hardy soles who will perform for the masses, but the rest of the weekend, Saturday evening and all of Sunday will most likely be a no go. Oh well, the weather does improve for flying on Tuesday of this week and for a couple of days there after!

Yesterday and today were tether demo days for the Hartford and Argyle Elementary Schools. Baker and I have been doing these for a long time, during the week of the Adirondack Balloon Festival. We thoroughly enjoy bringing our balloon to the elementary school kids so they can see one up-close, and the smiles on all the kiddies faces.
There was a lot of fog down in the valley on the drive over, but Argyle had beautiful blue skies and calm winds for our demo for the elementary kiddies.

We did manage to do a couple of flights when we got a brake with the weather. First was the past Saturday morning –
The weather forecast for the Lake George, Saratoga Springs area for this week is not very good for doing balloon rides until we get to the weekend, specifically Sunday from what they are currently showing today. On another note about current showing of weather forecasts, last week I mentioned in my blog post that the CPC’s 7-10 day outlook forecast was looking wet heading into the upcoming Adirondack Hot Air Balloon Festival. Well, seems there has been a change of heart as far as their forecast models, and they are now advertising above average dry? Hey, it’s the northeast. Give the forecast a minute, and it’ll change – for the good this time!

We just had a fantastic string of beautiful weather the last couple of weeks. Great for doing some flying, and it was also great for partying and enjoying the area’s amenities with family that was in-town for a week long mooch. The weather forecast for this week for the Adirondacks, Lake George, Saratoga Springs region does not look good for flying until we get close and into the upcoming Labor Day Holiday Weekend.
Now it’s time to update recent flights from the beautiful weekend we just had – –
On the afternoon flight of the 24th, Julianna and Anthony of Tarrytown NY got engaged. Congratulations guys!
For my last flight of the weekend, on Sunday morning I flew sisters Sherri from Sauquoit NY and Laura from Clinton NY.

Recent flights have been a bit spotty as of late due to the weather. On Saturday morning the 1st, I flew a mixed group, a couple from Astoria, and a customer from Scotia on a gift balloon ride.
Next up was the morning of the 5th. On board was a mother/daughter enjoying a gift flight over rural Washington County on a beautiful morning.
Now for the weather forecast portion of this post for the Adirondacks, Lake George, Saratoga Springs, Albany – The Capital District, and the outlook for doing any hot air balloon rides this weekend. In 2 words, not good. Right now, the weather looks rather damp right through the next week of June, according to the 6 to 14 day outlook forecast by the Climate Prediction Center.

The weather forecast for the Adirondacks, Lake George, Saratoga Springs, Albany, The Capital District, looks possible on Tuesday, and the best on the Wednesday AM and PM flight windows for going on a hot air balloon ride. Right now, later in the week into the upcoming weekend doesn’t look so good for going on a hot air balloon ride. I have space available, so either give me a call @ 518-793-6342 or contact me through my web site @ AdirondackBalloonFlights.com

Well, the weather forecast update isn’t very pretty for the Memorial Holiday Weekend. When I originally posted the weekend forecast on Tuesday, the weather looked pretty good going into the weekend according to the National Weather Service. The Albany NWS forecast discussion did mention tho, the possibility of a cut-off low forming off the New Jersey Coast and it hanging around for most of the weekend. It now looks like what they were at the time considering the outlier computer model, is not the consensus forecast model for the weekend. If you are visiting the Adirondacks, Lake George, Saratoga Springs, Albany, The Capital District region over the Memorial Holiday Weekend, expect November like weather. If you are heading into the Adirondacks, expect the chance of snow showers in the higher elevations Saturday/early Sunday. The rest of the area will be a cold rain and wind, especially on Saturday, with some improvement on Sunday, and hopefully a somewhat decent Monday – we’ll see.
