Mark, Paul,

I agree that there is a hole coming, and it appears to be growing. But
I wouldn't call it a huge hole. Could be only a couple of hours
window. As you say, things change quickly.

However, all of the forecasts look uniformly better for tomorrow night,
and as I can afford only one this weekend, I'm going to stand down
tonight and hope for tomorrow (and, of course, next weekend).

But I hope you all have a fine night!
