Field notes
The site says a scheduled job fetches GFS ensemble data from Open-Meteo each morning, with forecasts extending 14 days ahead. Its flyable-day share is calculated from ensemble members that meet the site's wind, gust, and rain limits during the flying window. The page cautions that the model grid is about 25 km across and is not a substitute for checking conditions at the launch.
