              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
The entire night was plagued with high humidity, which usually brought its friends Nasty Clouds and Radar Returns.  While we were able to open, it was under mostly clear skies but humidity was borderline (and a bit nerve-wracking).  Eventually the clouds came back with a vengeance, forcing us closed.  They ddin't clear again, and we called it a night at 05:20.
Besides the weather, everything was well behaved.
