I have the Subaru packed up and ready to leave from work after lunch. I will be there early and set up a scope unless it is hailing. That ought to provide challenge enough to the weather guessers. It appears that we will have at least a few other observers. If there is a chance to get a message back to the city, we will do so. I look forward to seeing Steve Dodder, Rosie and Matt, at least. Hope to see you there; Steve Coe -----Original Message----- From: sac-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sac-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Richard Harshaw Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 5:10 PM To: sac-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sac-forum] Re: weather I'm leaning towards a Saturday trip at this time, although the skies will probably about 30% hazy.

The ability of meteorologists to forecast the weather accurately even 24 hours in advance is refuted regularly by reality. And it often seems to clear up in the wee hours, particularly if most people have left! It would be nice if anybody who's out there already could text a report to the forum on Sat.

I took a vacation day tomorrow and by God, I'm going to have a vacation! Here is the NWS discussion: MODELS ARE STILL FORECASTING THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...CURRENTLY 400 MILES WEST OF LOS ANGELES...TO MOVE INTO ARIZONA IN SOME FASHION OR ANOTHER. THIS IS BECAUSE THE MODELS ARE STILL VERY INCONSISTENT ON THE DEPTH...INTENSITY...AND EVEN AMOUNT OF MOISTURE WITH THIS SYSTEM FOR SUNDAY. OUR INCLINATION IS TO GO WITH THE EUROPEAN MODEL...WHICH FORECASTS BACK TO BACK SYSTEMS...I.E... A TROF MOVING THROUGH AZ SATURDAY AFTERNOON FOLLOWED BY A STRONGER SYSTEM SUNDAY NIGHT. SO I will have a short vacation based on the "European Model." If I get some observing in, so much the better. Matt No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
