Is the peak Sunday morning?  Everything I've read says the peak for us is
Sunday night / Monday morning.  That's why I scheduled to take Monday off
from work.

This morning, trying for a general triangulation in the Cherry Rd. area, 

I am getting scattered thunderstorms (30%) for Saturday and Sunday 

nights in Prescott, Prescott Valley and Flagstaff area.  As peak shower 

period is late Saturday night and early Sunday morning, this doesn't 

sound so good.



Does anyone have differing information (better/worse?)?  Alternate sites 

that might offer a better opportunity sans a really sweltering place for 

viewing the event?



(Personal Note:  Steve, I need you out there shaking your buff booty no 

later than 8:30 p.m. tonight and continuing pretty much non-stop through 

Friday night at the very least.  Runes are also suggesting the rubbing 

of bat guano into your hair before beginning to enhance the overall 

effectiveness.)





Thanks,   Janis
