I'm on my way to Flagstaff AZ late next week in my peashooter 172. I'm
watching the radar as thunderstorm after thunderstorm passes through the
SW.
The last couple of days the forecasts mention 1-inch hail at my
destination!
I've never flown the SW before. The FBO in Flagstaff kind of downplayed
the
hail when I called. "Oh ya, it's been on the ground in town but not out
here,,, plenty of folks are parked on the ramp so they must not be
worried".



Any tips on whether I need to worry? Any folks in the high county have
some
words of wisdom? What's normal in AZ for this time of year? They want
$80.00
a night to keep it in a hanger.

The storms are in the late afternoon through the late evening. Time your
flights accordingly.
