Weather change – No star party tonight

Rappahannock Astronomy Club Posted on February 15, 2017 by Don ClarkMarch 9, 2017

Here we go again with a beautiful morning and yet, the promise of cloudy skies tonight.  I just returned from a 5 mile hike at Caledon, where tonight’s star party is scheduled.  But on the radar I see that predicted line of storms approaching.  The rain will probably stop by nightfall, but we will probably have cloudy skies above a wet field tonight.  Better luck next time.
