Howard, the Weather Watchers Team said they'd give me an update about 3pm, so as soon as I know what's going on and what we decide as a TEAM, the word will definitely get out to you and if we are running late getting the data to you, i will text your phone so you can get the info you need, in time. Thanks Have a super day!
