As of 12 noon, there has been no change in the weather forecasts below.
However, the satellite photos still show gaps in the clouds moving in, most
clouds going south of Cave Creek, and the clouds over Cave Creek still look
like they will be high thin clouds.
Therefore, I am not cancelling the telescopes. If some of you do not want
to attend because the viewing will be marginal, I will understand. I am
arriving at 5 pm to enjoy the STEAM events at PVCC BMC. Then at 6 pm I will
drive onto the observation deck and set up. Between 7 and 7:30 pm when it
is dark enough I will try to show any object I can with my 8 inch newtonian
reflector. If anyone with PAS wants to show up with their scope I would
appreciate it. However, I will understand if people bow out. I will also
have my spectroscopy outfit to try to demonstrate spectral analysis of the
elements in a star, hopefully we will see a star!!!
If you are coming tonight with your scope, please email me in reply to
this so I know to expect you between 6 and 6:30 pm.
Take care, hope to see you tonight. Sam

As of 9 am this morning, 10 different weather forecasts show an average
of 59% clouds, 5 mph winds and 0% rain for tonight at BMC
star party. The weather is changing constantly so I want to send out a
final forecast at noon today. Right now the reports show only high thin
clouds (like it is right now if you look outside). This should allow the
viewing of Gamma Andromeda double star, Pleiades open cluster, and other
very bright objects. The barometer is slightly rising and the satellite
photos show some gaps in the clouds moving across the valley, and most of
the clouds going south of Cave Creek. Please check this email a few minutes
after noon for the final decision. Thanks for your patience.

The following are 9 different weather forecast averages as of 8 am this
morning for Thursday night at BMC:
62% clouds 5mph winds 0% rain
The wind and rain are ok but the clouds are troublesome. However, they
appear to be high, thinner clouds. We will have to check the satellite
photos and update all the weather forecasts Thursday morning. With high
thinner clouds some bright objects like double stars, and open clusters may
shine through. Take care, Sam
