Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Rain rain go away! After the rain stopped, humidity dropped, but the clouds stayed. Starting around 21:00 the wind began to pick up, exceeding safe thresholds. Rain came and went. By 00:10 winds were topping 60mph. Rain came back, light but steady. Humidity became high after 03:00. Rain got heavier around 05:00. By 06:30 there was lighting to the south of us. We did not open at all.
