  • Nice flight into and out-of the Mid-Atlantic last night…

    …but no time to post the radar! Ouch! While the majority of migration was occurring to our south (over the Southeastern US) northwest winds across the region did trigger some migration into the mid-Atlantic.

On Wednesday night, though, northwest winds will build in across the NE […]
