Last Saturday at Medoc being a good example....the actual results (clear)
could not have been more different that the forecast just a few hours before
(clouds, storms)  allen

Jon,

I think you are about right on your assessment of the weather this weekend
... but I must be an optimist - I see the 50% clouds at Medoc as "the glass
is half full" rather than empty, and I'm going to head out there tonight.
I have this itch to see wide field views of Cygnus and Sagittarius/Scorpius
... 

My optimism is based on what happened last weekend.    Similar forecasts ...
but the skies at Medoc were clear (hazy, mind you, but what can you expect
this time of year?)  So I will keep watching the pattern of how the showers
are forming this afternoon and where the main heavy cloud bank extends, and
make a final decision later today.

I'll also be watching the weather tomorrow as well.  The weather experts
have gotten it wrong before ... perhaps there might be some observing
possible down at Ebenezer Church Rec Area!

Robert
