Thanks for the update and glad things have turned out well for everyone.
Unfortunately something I ate is not agreeing with me and it seems best to
stay close to home. :(
Hope ya'll have some good observing. :)

AJ, et. al. - Travis just called from the Cherry Road site - he says
it's bone-dry up there. I'm heading up there in a couple of hours.

night,
too.

Well, the main draw for Cherry Road is a livable daytime temperature
(correct me if I'm wrong. I've never been there.) So I'll probably drive
up
tomorrow afternoon and give it a look.

Hi - I've been watching the radar so far and there still hasn't been any
rain within 25mi of the Cherry Road Site. I'm going to continue
checking and would still go if it doesn't rain there.
Both ClearDarkSky and Skippy Sky are showing unusually excellent
observing Thursday (especially for monsoon) for most of the state so I'd
like to get out somewhere.
If no one is going to go to Cherry Road, how about Antennas? Griffin
Ranch?

OK, here's what I'm getting for the site for today and tomorrow. This
is
where I'm getting the scattered showers for late this afternoon. I just
don't believe this gives the site enough time to dry out for our use in
time
for Thursday night. Realizing this is a marginal situation I'm out due
to
weather.
Keep in mind things may improve for the weekend.

Got stuck in the mud once in upstate NY. Called a tow guy who promptly
got himself stuck too. Took 45 min. to free him so he could pull us out
from the other side.
BTW, this is the same link with lat/long for Cherry Road. Of the
private weather services, only Accuweather is predicting any possible
precip. So far today there are only light echoes to the south which
probably aren't reaching the ground.

Travis, I use this site for Phoenix, az
http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat3.4483771&lon=-112.0740372
9999999&site=all&smap=1&searchresult=Phoenix%2C%20AZ%2C%20USA#.UgJ1xtK1G
So
Note it has the GPS coordinates. From there you can check the link that
says Location Help to get to Cherry Rd. You can do this for any site
you
wish.

AJ--
You have a great deal more experience both with Cherry Road and AZ
weather,
so I'll place our fate in your hands. So tomorrow at noon it is.
What weather sources do you use for assessing Cherry Road? The Clear Sky
Chart looks decent for Wednesday night, but as you say, it will take
some
drying out.

Travis, looks like the weather is changing and not for the better.
Looks
like there could be scattered showers thru early Wednesday evening and I
don't think that will be enough time for the ground to dry enough for us
to
negotiate without getting stuck in mud. And I don't want to get stuck
in
mud - already done that twice and don't want to make it 3 times.
Let's give it till around noon tomorrow before making final decision.
