I went to the dog area opposite the field this afternoon.
The wind was gusting quite heavily, and was blowing in a direction that would have been almost coming directly into a pilots back - directly side on to the runway.
It may be the case that the buildings protect the strip enough to get safe takeoffs and landings, it would just mean there is a sudden surprise waiting for anyone flying over the height of that cover.
Good luck to anyone flying tomorrow - I hope you get weather like early this morning where it was relatively still.
