cloud entry

found these very nice photos of stratus clouds. its only 20:42, but I should be fast asleep. as for tomorrow, i wonder if the rain will hold until the afternoon. the temperature is creeping up on the dew point with the DP in the high 50s even low 60s. could be as low as 66 tomorrow morning, maybe its time to pull out the balloon sweaters. i think its something like 43 days now

Day 3: August 23 - Accuweather

Time: 22:29 MDT / 04:29Z

Current Temp: 65F / 19C (Real Feel 59) Wind N 4 MPH Humidity 90% (Since I checked this before checking the dew point I did not believe it) Dew point 62F / 17C Pressure 1016mb

Observations: The first thing I noticed is how HIGH the dew point is!! Finally getting some of that needed moisture in the air. I believe they are bands from a tropical storm though, (Harold) I worry that this monsoon season will see its way to the second week of October again. I wonder what that week will be like. This morning at the foothills, as. I sat in my car to watch the sunrise and review for an exam, it was not terribly cold so imagine my surprise as I checked the weather a moment ago.

Hoping the winds are calm this weekend

Day 3: August 17 - weatherbug 

Sunrise: 0628 MDT

Sunset: /

Morning

Time: 0948MDT/ 1538Z

General Observations: Surprised to still see the dew point that low. The relative humidity still shocks me over here. 

My Prediction for Today:  little to no rain because why would it rain here. Hilary could bring in rain late next week. However the Cc clouds from yesterday morning could bring a little rain today.

Relative Humidity: 35%

Dew Point: 48F / 8.888

Temperature: 79F / 26.111C

Forecast Accuracy: It did rain, but a drizzle around 18:21 MDT.

Day 3: August 17 - NWS 

Sunrise: 0630 MDT

Sunset: 1949 MDT

Evening

Time: 22:29MDT

General Observations: Earlier in the week I thought that Sunday would be too windy for any flights.  Another observation I have made during my time here is how the sunset is consistently later no. In July it set after 20:00MDT. Looking ahead to early September, the sun is said to leave the sky around 19:00MDT yet still rise at the same time. The sunset changes per one minute every day (during certain months) or about 30 minutes a month  

My Prediction for Today:  (when I woke up to crew) I thought it seemed windy!

Current Conditions at: 10:00MDT

Wind: SE 23 MPH Gusts 32MPH

Relative Humidity: 26%

Dew Point: 44F
