Weather forecasts force cancellation of our Public Night again. The Clear Sky chart[1] predicts transparency and seeing mostly as “Too cloudy to forecast”. As of 11:00 local time, all the other forecasts [2][3][4] predict mostly cloudy to overcast skies with a 15 to 50 percent chance of a thunderstorm or rain. Conditions won’t be suitable for astronomical observations.
Hoping for clear skies for the eclipse and our next public night,

The Clear Sky Chart for tomorrow doesn’t look too promising, so I’m cancelling the public night.

The public night scheduled for 18 November is canceled. Although the Clear Sky Chart[1] currently says only 50% of the sky will be covered by clouds, all of the other forecasts predict “cloudy”[2] or “mostly cloudy”[3][4] with a chance of precipitation. DC television weather-guessers all agree it will be mostly cloudy tomorrow evening with differing opinions on the timing and amount of precipitation.
Hoping for clear skies for future public nights,
