The crosswind on a wet runway will be fun.

From the current forecasts it looks like it is a bit over blown ...excuse the pun.

Flew through the the remains of it on Friday down to DUD and ZQN, and it was probably the smoothest ride into ZQN I've ever had.

Other than that it was pretty much a nonevent at altitude
