              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    J.Dembicky
Clouds closed us for the last program.  We got about 15 mins before they came rolling in.  I
closed the enclosure around 05:30 since the clouds were getting worse and we saw precip in this
system when it was in Arizona earlier in the evening.
