The percentage of good-flying Saturdays in our area this year is 18.3 percent (less than one in five). Sundays have been better much more frequently.
Every Saturday this spring was no good. So far, every Saturday this fall has been no good. With two weekends left before winter begins, cross your fingers!
To say we're in a poor trend would be mincing words.

Ray C.
