Weather for Conclave 2008 looks like it will be excellent for a good part of the weekend.  Highs in the high60s/low 70s and lows in the high50s/low 60s.  A 60% chance of rain is possible on Sunday.  Be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen and appropriate clothing for the weekend. 

Forecast for Yarmouth Port, MA (as of Thursday at 3:40pm)

Trying to figure out the best time to leave home to arrive at Conclave 2008 in time?  Google Maps now sports traffic data for most major highways, and allows you to change the time of day to see estimated traffic based on past conditions.  Use the map below to start your directions search. 

Remember: The bridges onto the Cape are usually busy this time of year on a Friday afternoon, so leave plenty of time to get over them and to the conclave on time.
