Haven't yet seen an answer to "bar shaker's" question.
Did the LFAT weather deteriorate, or did you depart without an actual LFAT weather report? Hopefully you and others did check it.
If you didn't, a word of caution to you and other divertees.Tucked away in the ANO is Article 43 entitled "Pre-flight action by commander of aircraft", making self briefing a legal obligation. From personal experience hearing GA pilots requesting multiple weather reports and danger area activity status (of permanently active areas) while en-route, from often busy controllers or FISOs, it appears that "not a lot of people know that"!
