FAR Part 91.103 Preflight Action
Each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar with all available information concerning that flight. This information must include—For civil aircraft other than those specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, other reliable information appropriate to the aircraft, relating to aircraft performance under expected values of airport (field) elevation, aircraft gross weight, wind and temperature.

Balloon Weather and the Internet
All forecasts are not created equally

How are Internet Weather Forecasts Made?
Almost all are automated, NO HUMAN INTERFACEDatabase drivenUpdated when computer models are completed (many different models)Based on either the NWS database or proprietary models owned/run by private weather servicesSome “fudging” involved

Internet Forecasts
Different websites may use different models
Most or all websites will not change to particular model on a day by day basis
Most websites use a “blend” of the computer model information

Who uses what
Weather.com (aka, The Weather Channel) – stopped using NWS forecasts, uses own modelWeather Underground – NWSAccuweather – own modelIntellicast – owned by weather.comWSI – owned by weather.comCNN, FOX, etc. usually contracts with above vendorsNational Weather Service – taxpayer provided database, resources, etc.

Points to Ponder
Pilots who obtain internet forecasts from commercial providers should use the information ONLY as a guideMany internet forecasts do not contain other elements such as wind forecastsAdd the human element whenever possible, either yourself or a weather briefer
![Page 27: Weather and Tools for Ballooning Mark Roberson. FAR Part 91.103 Preflight Action Each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa21a28abf838c96282/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Ask the Briefer
Fronts/troughs within 50 miles of launch site?Low pressure centers within 50 miles of launch site?Precipitation/virga on radar within 50 miles of launch site?

What is an Outflow Boundary?
Thunderstorms often push a mass of cold dense air ahead of them generated by the cooling effect of the rain. These are called outflows.
![Page 30: Weather and Tools for Ballooning Mark Roberson. FAR Part 91.103 Preflight Action Each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa21a28abf838c96282/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
When and Where Do They Occur?
Sometimes in a 360 degree radius around thunderstorms
Rain showers
Virga
![Page 31: Weather and Tools for Ballooning Mark Roberson. FAR Part 91.103 Preflight Action Each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa21a28abf838c96282/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Outflow

Outflow
Cold air begins to descend from the middle and upper levels of a thunderstorm.
As the colder air strikes the Earth's surface, it begins to “roll”, much like water as a boat moves through it. As the colder air “rolls” out, it is compressed causing winds to increase dramatically - at times even stronger than a hurricane!

Virga Can Produce Outflow

Real Life Examples - Hot Air Balloons
On June 8, 1997 the Great Plains Balloon Race was being held just south of Sioux Falls. The evening balloon flight was expected to be rather tranquil. Instead, a surprise gust front from two isolated thunderstorms caused some balloons to land with speeds approaching 30 mph.The outflows from these two small storms traveled for four to five hours merging and intensifying as they reached Sioux Falls. The two gust fronts continued to move across South Dakota and were about half way across the state, before they finally died out. South Dakota is about 400 miles wide. The front traveled in excess of 350 miles. Most of the rest of the travel was after sunset.

Saturday, July 15, 1995 at DEERFIELD, MA
The pilot arrived at a balloon festival at 5:30 am and obtained a weather briefing from three other pilots and the Balloon Meister. He determined that thunderstorms were due in the area at about 10:00 am.

Saturday, July 15, 1995 at DEERFIELD, MA (Cont.)
He departed with two passengers at 6:20 am. The pilot subsequently encountered a wind shift and strong gusting winds. He reported that the balloon throat closed due to the winds. After that, the balloon began descending and collided with trees.

Saturday, July 15, 1995 at DEERFIELD, MA (Cont.)
About 25 miles south at Westfield, Ma, the 6:45 am wind was from 090 degrees at 5 knots; at 7:45 am, the wind had changed to 360 degrees at 20 knots with gusts to 40 knots.

Saturday, July 15, 1995 at DEERFIELD, MA (Cont.)
About 50 miles northwest of the departure point at Albany, severe thunderstorms with heavy rain and wind squalls were reported at 6:50 am. The peak wind at Albany was reported to be from 310 degrees at 67 knots at 6:41am.

Forecasting Outflow Boundaries
Know if thunderstorms are possible in a 360 degree radius from launch siteAre thunderstorms going to occur overnight or during the morning?Watch the sky - Is there virga, dissipating thunderstorms or showers in the area? Remember….in a 360 degree radiusCheck radar and satellite imagesAsk briefer if outflow boundaries are present or HAVE been detected overnight/within 3 to 6 hours of launch

Surface Observations
Are there any locations reporting current thunderstorm activity or recent activity?Are there any reporting stations in a 360 degree radius reporting strong winds gusts or erratic winds?Are you in an area with complex topography which may intensify outflow speeds?

Scan the horizon- do you see areas of dust on the horizon
Do you see low clouds with ragged edges?
Do you see virga?
Do you see towering Cumulus or CB’s in the distance (in a 360 degree radius)
