Re: Monday night looks to be clear?

At 4 PM the sky is clearing here from the west (~40 miles SE of Fremont
Peak), so my guess is we might get some viewing weather tonight. There is
very heavy overcast to the east over the mountaintops - orographic clouds,
but it is drifting east as well.

The downside is that the wind must be coming from the north because I can
see the smoke from the Summit Fire - it is heading south, Fremont Peak may
get a good dose of smoke, unless the wind shifts. This is the first time I
could see smoke from the fire out here.
