Hi Jizhong,

Inland socal has a higher probability of clear weather than the coast-
we often get clouds within 5-10 miles of the coast. We just had a
storm come through and another one is due next week, not sure of the
effect of them on the weather this weekend. The coastal run is nice,
but you can always decide a few hours before wheels up.

Hi,

I'm planning to make a trip from RHV to MYF in a C182 this weekend and
back. I could do some really mild IFR, but I'd really rather be VFR.
Although I got my IR last year, I don't have a lot of hours (250 total
and only 15hrs in the previous year) and feel nervous when I have to
travel through different WX system. What I'm facing? Will I be making
any mistake by choosing the inland route vs the coast one (or vise
versa)? I'd imaging coastal flight would be pretty. In the SF Bay Area
you could almost get away with VFR locally even there is a winter
storm nearby. What about the SCal?

Thanks a lot for any tips and help,

Jizhong
