Dhaulagiri Climbing Conditions;NBA Playoffs;PGA Tour
April and May are prime climbing months for Dhaulagiri in Nepal.It is one of the 8,000 meter peaks and a Major Mountain Expedition at 8167 meters/26,796 feet.The closest peak to it is Nilgiri Himal at 14.2 miles and 23,167 feet.Annapurna,at 26,547 feet,is 28.7 miles from Dhaulagiri.
The current temperature at the Kathmandu International Airport is 77F,133.6 miles from Dhaulagiri.Under hazy sun,there are light southwest winds.
At the summit of Dhaulagiri,there will be snowfall of 3.1 inches,considered heavy snowfall,on Saturday afternoon.It will be extremely cold at -18F,with a windchill of -49F.The freezing point on the mountain will be 14,900 feet.
This gives you some idea of what is involved at this professional level of mountaineering.Good luck if you want to take it on.
In other sport,the San Antonio Spurs slammed the Golden State Warriors 102-92 in the NBA Conference Semifinals.That gives the Spurs a 2-1 lead in the series.At The Players Championship in Florida,Sergio Garcia of Spain tops the leader board,with Tiger Woods in second at the end of round 2.

Tiger Woods in the Hunt;TS Isaac Getting Near
It was a sunny day at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale,New York as Tropical Storm Isaac drew closer to South Florida,darkening skies at Key West,the southernmost tip of the United States.Sergio Garcia of Spain and America's Nick Watney shared the lead of The Barclays,the first of the four PGA Tour Playoffs for the FedEx Cup,at the difficult and classic public golf course,part of Bethpage State Park on Long Island.
Each of the park's five courses has a color for a name.Bethpage Black was designed in the 1930s and features numerous huge bunkers with amoeba shapes.The greens of the lengthy course were drying fast,making them firm and bouncy.Garcia and Watney managed the tough old course better than most,ending the second round at eight under par.Tiger Woods finished just three strokes back at -5.American Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland just made the cut with even par,eight strokes back.
Snoopy 1,the famous MetLife blimp,provided views of the eccentric bunkers,which reach an extreme at the eighteenth hole,flanking it with their surreal menace.Garcia was coming off last week's victory at the Wyndham Championship with a lot of momentum,while Watney had been having a nondescript season so far.
Down in Florida,tropical storm conditions are expected for Monday and Tuesday.Coastal bay flooding may be a threat on Tuesday and Wednesday,with hurricane conditions possible.A Tropical Storm Warning and a Hurricane Watch have been posted for South Florida.It was already raining heavily in Miami at an NFL preseason game between the Miami Dolphins and Atlanta Falcons.The Falcons beat the Dolphins 23-6.
TS Isaac is currently blowing at 70 mph,moving NW at 14 mph and will soon cross Haiti,then go back over open water before crossing Cuba.It could be a category 1 hurricane by Monday evening.Heavily affected areas could range from Mississippi to Georgia.Category 1 is the weakest hurricane.On the twentieth anniversary of mighty Hurricane Andrew,TS Isaac bears scant resemblance to the devastating hurricane.

Update:At Bethpage Black,Sergio Garcia took sole possession of the lead of The Barclays,finishing round 3 at ten under par.Nick Watney was in second place on the leader board at -8,while Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were in 10th place with their four under par.Mickelson had improved from his even par second round by shooting a fine 67 on Saturday.
Tropical Storm Isaac ravaged Haitian refugee camps,killing at least seven people,and shifted a bit westward.About 10,000 people in the Dominican Republic were dispaced when 724 homes were damaged.At last check,it was a 60 mph storm,moving NW at 17mph.It is expected to cross close to Key West,so the Key West High School shelter is filling up. By Sunday evening,it will be a category 1 hurricane,with at least 75 mph winds,as it traverses the Gulf of Mexico.Landfall will be Tuesday evening at a minimum of category 2,with at least 105 mph winds,somewhere between Mississippi and Alabama on the Gulf Coast,according to the latest forecast model.
