Just to make it official. Clear Sky Chart says there might be a slight break in the overcast around 21:00 but otherwide overcast. The local forecast is mostly cloudy with a 20 to 30 percent chance of measurable precipitation this evening. Although I haven’t checked this morning, the field is likely soggy, too. Not a suitable evening for public observing..
Hoping for great conditions for Astronomy Day,
