                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: N.C.Hastings
 First half was characterized by thick clouds, dust and even a forest fire
 to the west. There was a 1-2 acre forest fire west/northwest of APO and
 was quickly under attack by our local National Forest crews. Air slurry
 bombers and ground crews quickly had it contained and by sunset it was
 not considered a threat in any way. Dust remained high and clouds thick.
 We never opened, even had a few small sprinkles of rain.
 2nd Half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Second half had high dust, high humidity, lightning nearby, high
 winds, and a variety of precipitation from more to less frozen.
