Hello Everyone,

We were in Christopher Creek (17 mile east of Payson) last night and =
from 8
PM until we left at 11:30 PM it was very clear!

M13 was naked-eye visible.

The late afternoon clouds cleared out just before 8 PM.

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 =
