Terri, NOAA says 28% cloud cover from 5 pm until 10 pm Sat night in Carefree, and then 36% cloud cover from 11 pm until 4 am. Also, 6% chance of rain. This doesn't sound good.

I think, sometimes, they don't even look at the door to see that clear skies, could be clouded out. Keep the forecasts for today coming in. And help me decide around 2pm if we are doing this event or not. Right now, what i see is a repeat of last night, which was doable. Wasn't great observing, but we did ok with it. Let's keep this discussion going. Thanks Terri Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them, but you always know they are there.

As of 8P last night while we were looking at a completly socked in Southern sky, NWS still said clear with good transparencyâ Tim On Oct 18, 2012, at 10:35 AM, Terri <cosmicstarstuff@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > However, > > the Rock method only works for the here and now.
