If the wind isn't too strong the fog will usually stay below the observing areas..

  I don't know if I would trust the CSC tonight.

  My weather sources say that it will likely be a good night again.

  With the one caveat that I would go for a place that was high. Last night there was a definite inversion. The Ft Ord profiler measured it at about 1200 feet at sunset raising to about 2000 feet by morning. Unfortunelty the easier to interpret GIF generator is not working this morning or I would point you toward it.

  Above the inversion you will be in warm weather. At or below the inversion be prepared for fog and drizzle.

  If you don't already have time booked at FP, then I would go to Coe. There will be a lot of people there, but you don't have to do the marathon.

  Nice shot Phil,

  I'm glad to see folks are enjoying the night skies again. I'm just sorry that I've not been able to get out.

  I hope to go to the peak tonight, but now the CSC looks ugly. Just my luck, the first day that I have not had to stare at an AutoCad screen in almost two weeks and the weather turns to $#!+.
