The weather forecast for tomorrow’s hike remains problematic and uncertain.
Rain in the North Bay in the wee hours of Tuesday is likely.
The storm front will probably pass through in the 6-9 am commute hours.
Right now it is impossible to predict whether it will still be raining when we leave East Marin for Point Reyes, or if we will see much rain or wind during the 9:45 a.m. – 1:45 pm scheduled hike.
Last year it was pouring when we got to Chimney Rock, then the rain stopped, and the wind was mainly on the west side of the peninsula that runs down to the rock itself. (We lived to tell about it).
Dress warmly, bring rain gear and maybe a thermos of hot coffee/tea/soup.
Check the NWS forecast (at nearly 11 pm it remained showers and possibly a thunderstorm. High near 52. Breezy, with a west northwest wind between 18 and 22 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%) and satellite and radar pictures Tuesday morning. (Don’t forget to look out the window, too).
There is always “Plan B” (drive to Point Reyes Station for a hot meal).
