              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Night started out with thick clouds and threat of precipitation, so we did not open. Night stayed overcast with rising humidity and winds, but no precipitation. With no signs of improvement, we gave up at 5am. No one observed tonight.
