Today we lost a generous and great friend, a wonderful father, and an incredible meteorologist. Doug Armstrong passed away unexpectedly this morning. He was known by all out west as the "go to" weather guy. Doug was best known for his fabulous forecasting techniques and has devoted countless hours in assisting those looking to increase their knowledge of soaring meteorology, regardless whether it was for a silver badge or someone looking to break records. Doug made a huge difference in soaring. He will be greatly missed.
Doug no longer needs to decipher long range forecasts, HRRR models, skew T's, or satellite pictures for us. He's got a great view now from above and will guide us down those long cloud streets and lenticular stacks.
Thank you Doug for all you have done for us. We will miss you.
