Cloudy skies and a 10-20% chance of precipitation this evening means that the Crockett Park Public Night is again canceled.
Although the Clear Sky Chart[1] predicts only 10% cloud cover at 21:00 local time, most forecasts [2][3][4] show mostly cloudy skies with a significant chance of precipitation through this evening. Transparency prediction ranges from POOR to TOO CLOUDY TO FORECAST. Not a good night for star gazing.
Hoping for clear skies soon,
