Tom;
That is where I am leaning also. I am certainly tired of being hot, but I
just don't see that low pressure system moving off quickly enough to give us
a chance at two good nights. I will look at email when I get home from work
at 4 PM. If there are not enough people telling me they are definitely
going to 5 Mile Meadow, then I will not order the toilet. And hopefully we
can suffer through some hot days to get to some clear night at the Antennas
site.

I was not aware of the Forest Service's requirement that the porta potty be
provided once we exceed 10 people in the meadow. That changes things.
Here is Brian's summary for September, complete through last Sunday night.
http://www.lowell.edu/Research/cloudiness_data/report.php?year=2008&month=se
p&go=search
Terms are defined below the summary. There are not as many "photom" nights
in there as we would like. Since we're in a weak monsoon pattern, it's
more likely to be cloudy (or less transparent) on the Colorado Plateau than
it would be down in the basin and range region of Arizona.
This is excerpted from this morning's forecast discussion from the
Flagstaff National Weather Service office.
FOR THURSDAY INTO SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER NEW MEXICO
WILL RESULT IN A GRADUAL MOISTURE INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH.
HOWEVER...WARM MID-LEVEL TEMPERATURES SHOULD SUPPRESS CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY WITH JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS.
Even though there is some possibility of two photometric weekend nights,
I'd vote no on 5MM. It is far more likely for it to be clear in the desert.
