              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
NICFPS needed an init again tonight (Black/white bars issue)
We didn't open at sunset due to clouds.  Then we had some sucker holes but radar returns in the southern part of the county that were slowly making their way in our direction.
We had a thunderstorm move over around 22:30 and then clouds persisted, with more cells popping up in the county (moving our direction) afterwards.
We had clouds, rain and humidity for most of the remainder of the night.  We finally called it under cloudy skies at 05:15.
