Been busy but on computer now @ 2PM. 1 0 to 20% small individual clouds here which you know I call Michigan clear skies. You can star hop around this if this doesn't get worse.

Which way are the clouds coming from and going? Don, do the same from Chandler, please. Bob, BMC, what do you see. Let's gather visual info on this situation. I'd like to call this event on or off soon. I'm doing my 2013 taxes and i'm on a roll. That doesn't happen often, so i really want to take advantage of getting back to it while i feel up to doing it. I've had a migraine, probably due to this storm, since Sunday night. Today, i feel pretty good, so I want to get this done. What can YOU tell me about the weather for tonight? And right now, where you are? All input is welcome. My peep outside shows clear skies, a few light clouds on the horizon to the East. But i can't see to the horizon all the way around due to building in the way. Now, if i was basing tonight's event on NOW's weather, i'd say have the event, but if you guys are seeing a bad forecast for tonight, and because i remember what i saw on the news this morning... they said clearer today, but by afternoon & evening, the clouds will build up again, and it is possible to have isolated thunderstorms. So, i'm not sure what to do. Thank you all for your input. Let me know if we should cancel based on what you see on the weather sites. My weather station says rain today. Doesn't designate morning, noon or night, just a big black rain cloud with rain drops on today's forecast.

I don’t have any dew heaters on my scopes, so it doesn’t sound encouraging. Skippy shows clear of clouds but very poor transparency (<50%) which means a lot of water vapor, murk and thin stuff. They also show very high dew risk (levels similar to Florida). It gets better by 11pm, but looks pretty iffy… Eric From: pasmembers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto: pasmembers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ] On Behalf Of Terri Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2014 4:50 AM To: PAS Members ListServ Subject: [pasmembers] Weather today Thursday The TV people say 40% rain, clouds.
