Apparently the CSC updates at 1 PM!

It looks about the same ... with Sat night starting out better and then getting worse.  So since I don't trust the forecast as much tomorrow and I think the skies are better AFTER rather  than before something comes through, I'll head over tonight.  I might not setup the scope before it clears, though ...

I should be over there between 7:30 and 8:00 PM ...
