[Brian Skiff <bas@xxxxxxxxxx>]

     The afternoon NWS forecast discussions are out, and here are excerpts
relevant to the incoming cirrus.  The Flagstaff office report doesn't
have anything specifc about this weather feature.
     It could be that the timing will be right for northwest Arizona to have
cleared off after midnight.  Perhaps a place like Hualapai Peak south of
Kingman would be reasonably accessible.
