              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
gcam needed a restart during checkout.
I was expecting the humidity to peak at sunset but it didn't get as high as I thought it would and the sky was clear sooooo....I opened and let our newly trained NM02 person start.  She did great! But the humidity and clouds rose again and we closed after 2 hours.  We were not able to reopen. I gave up at 4:30 when it started raining and the clouds weren't showing any sign of clearing before dawn.
