Cancelled - C.M. Crockett Public Night @ C.M. Crockett Park | Midland | Virginia | United States

The June Public Night at C. M. Crockett Park is canceled due to cloud cover.  ClearSkyChart predicts only 40 to 80 percent of the sky obscured by clouds but all of the other weather forecasts predict 90% or more coverage.  Most also forecast a significant chance of precipitation. Not a suitable evening for stargazing.

 Hope for better conditions to come.  Soon, please.

It’s a tough call, but I think the thin clouds will turn thicker later. The public night is thus CANCELLED.

Public Night at C M Crockett Park for 3 August 2019 is CANCELED.

Weather forecasts are inconsistent but none are good.  Cloud cover predictions vary from 26% covered to 90%.  Precipitation chance forecasts range from zero to 43%.  All agree humidity will be an issue with dew points just 1 to 3 degrees below air temperature.  We don’t want to disappoint members of the public or risk optics and electronic mounts being caught in a stray shower or thunderstorm.  Tough call this time. 

Please read the C.M. Crockett Page for park details.

Even though the skies seem mostly clear now, forecasts call for mostly cloudy starting this afternoon. So I’m cancelling the Friday public night at Great Meadow.
