The forecasts I've seen are all talking about wind and rain starting during the night. I'd say the chances are pretty slim for kiting before Tuesday.
Tuesday looks good, though.

Sorry... 0000 is the same as 2400.... 2400 - 800 = 1600 which = 1600 military time which is 4:00pm.... I wish it were easier... but trust me.. it says it will be windy at 4pm today... The airport forecast is the most up to date and accurate forecast I have found for Alameda wind.... It is updated every 6 hours...
