| CORPUS CHRISTI, TX-(9-10-2002) With squalls surrounding Corpus Christi Bay, and a storm-driven wind out of the northwest at 20 knots, PRO Bob Gough has made the decision to stay ashore until a more stable weather pattern emerges. Best estimates indicate that the squalls will clear in an hour or two and the southeasterly trades will resume. AP Is Down!
Winds continue in the 10-12 knot range from the north. Squalls continue to work up the Texas coast, but the pattern appears stable enough to go racing. First gun is scheduled at 1140 CDT. Check www.intellicast.com for local radar loops. Race 4
