I was wondering do you know what time Stardust will enter the atmosphere? Thanks Dallan On 1/14/06, Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com> wrote:
At 4:00 PM, MDT (23:00 UTC), it is clear in Salt Lake City.
Two bands of heavy rain are shown on the NOAA satellite loop approaching from the west: http://www.weather.gov/sat_tab.php
- one of which is currenlty over Elko per the 22:30 UTC NOAA Nevada detail satellite map: http://sat.wrh.noaa.gov/satellite/2km/lkn/IR2LKN.GIF - in - http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/lkn/
However -
1) There appears to be holes in the bands behind the first storm front. 2) Crudely estimating the rate of travel of the western two storm bands, using the 12 hour loop NOAA satellite loop, it looks like the backside of the two storm bands, or a gap between the storm bands, will reach Wendover by 3:00 am. 3) Elko looks possible for the clearing the backside of the band by 3:00am.
At 4:00pm, The possibility of not being clouded-out in Wendover at 3:00am looks better, and depends on the two storm fronts maintaining their current rate of speed, so they clear the landing area.
If you are driving to Wendover tonight, be prepared to go through one or two squall lines. Plan to have to reduce your driving speed accordingly.
P.S. - I'm no professional weathercaster. Use this info at your own risk and check the NOAA sources directly.

Has anyone seen a [reliable?] weather forecast for Sunday AM's return of Stardust? <snip>
I use -
1) the NOAA Conus skycover loop in this applet (choose "skycover" instead of "temperature" in the option pull-down):

2) the NOAA 24-hour satellite loop - http://www.weather.gov/sat_tab.php
