[AZ-Observing] Re: Tonights observing

Re - afternoon clouds that clear out at night.  This is not something that 
happens normally.  Most of the time, once the afternoon clouds start their 
build up in the mountains it lasts well into the night and include 
lightening shows and precipitation.  Last night was an unusual happening, 
but keep in mind it can.  The unfortunate problem is to predict this ahead 
of time and I don't know how to do that, nor does there seem to be weather 
forecasters that know how.  Just doesn't seem to be enough data to build a 
model, or could there be just toooo much data?

Still it is good to have someone like Stan to give us up to the minute 
weather reports.  Thanks Stan.

Observing tonight - I'll be watching to see what transpires before making a 
decision.  Regardless it would probably be later rather than earlier.

There was a pattern similar to this yesterday--- starting out clear or
clearing and looking great, then t'storms erupted up north during the
afternoon.  Based on that, several of us decided to forego Cherry last
night.  Then Stan wrote to say it had cleared off and was pretty decent.
Ah, that's life!

Andrew, let's watch these satellite images during the day, especially early
afternoon, to see if anything "pops up."

Yes it is early, however it looks like we might be in for some clearing
up north. Use the link below and pick the enhancement of your choice.
The second link shows county lines. Other images can be found by
returning to the UofA  Weather Imagery Page at the bottom of the image.
