will make a decision with the new weather info at about 5pm.
Thank you Don for the weather info.
Everyone keep an eye on tonight's weather and thanks to all for the weather

Setting up by Bookmans building, could block the winds.
And, as long as the winds do not have too strong of gusts, the scopes
could be fine.
A few scopes wanting to show Moon and Jupiter may have a windier time.
Those of u RSVP'd to attend tonight, what are your thoughts about the
wind? We have done events that were windier.

The above shows no problems with clouds or rain. There will be a wind
tonight, coming out of the west.
The buildings should help shield the telescopes from the wind to some
extent.
Will await Terri's decision for tonight. Take care, Sam

The following are updated forecasts for tonight at Desert Ridge and Sat
night at Bookmans as of 7 am Thursday morning:
Thursday night at
Desert Ridge
NOAA 18% clouds 10 mph winds 4% rain
TWC 10% 11 mph 0%
Accuweather 10% 12 mph 0%
Weather undgd 6% 12 mph 0%
Weather bug 50% 7 mph ?
yr.no 50% 6 mph 0%
Skippy sky 10% 10 mph ?
Clear outside 99% 11 mph 0%
Clear sky 10% 12 mph ?
The above is an improvement from the last forecast. Now 6 of 9 show no
cloud problems instead of 4 of 8.
The wind is still a concern, but it will be out of the West and we are
setting up on the East balcony, so the main building
should block out the wind. The radar and clear outside show the clouds
should be high thin clouds which should not
hurt viewing the moon and planets. Take care, Sam
Saturday night at Bookmans
NOAA 24% clouds 8 mph winds 5% rain
TWC 10% 14 mph 0%
Accuweather 54% 14 mph 3%
Weather undgd 15% 15 mph 0%
Weather bug 70% 7 mph ?
yr.no 10% 8 mph
0%
Skippy sky 30% 5 mph ?
Clear outside 38% 11 mph 0%
These forecasts are worse than 2 days ago. 6 out of 8 were good, now only
3 out of 8 are good. I think it is the rain system
that is coming in Friday night that is making Sat night worse. I will
update Sat morning. Take care, Sam

The above shows 4 out of 8 forecasts with heavy clouds and 4 out of eight
with small enough clouds. Also the clouds, according to some of
the forecasts, are high thin clouds. The winds may also be a problem. The
good thing is that we will be showing bright objects like the moon and
planets. I will update again Thursday morning and then a decision should
be made shortly after that. Take care, Sam
