              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    J. Huehnerhoff
Good seeing at beginning of night rapidly getting worse as the storm front
approached.  Crazy cloud patterns the entire night.
Closed due to heavy, increasing local radar returns.  Radar returns
hovered nearby for an hour then move to a far enough distance to open.
