Due to the Winds and weather in New England, long range forecasting and public notification for scheduled balloon test studies are not-often successful.
In an effort to provide some sort of public notice of the date and time of the balloon tests, this page is intended to be an up-to-date planner for public use.
We will be sure to update this page accordingly with probabilities and confirmation of scheduled testing once a decision has been made to proceed or re-schedule.
The criteria used to determine potentially viable Balloon Test dates consists of (in order of importance):
Winds forecast to be less than 9 mph throughout the duration of the study, (preferably below 6mph). MOST IMPORTANT!
No chance of fog or mist (temperature/dew point spread of greater than 6 degrees)
Less than 25% chance of precipitation
Mostly sunny is preferable for clearer, brighter photos, but not a necessity

We have tentatively selected balloon test dates as follows:
Tuesday 3/28/2017, Approximately 7am to 11am. CONFIRMED, Although there is a low chance of rain, the winds are forecast to be calm so we will be performing this test as planned. Please check back often for any updates and schedule changes.
Thursday 3/30/2017, Approximately 7am to 11am. Backup proposed date, If we are successful on Tuesday, then this backup will not be required. As it stands, Thursday looks far too windy to be successful anyway.
