Thanks Kurt, I see what you mean about that clearing over by Wendover that's moving this way. Who knows, maybe we'll get to see something after all. Fingers crossed. The weather folks at channels 4 and 13 are sending crews to SPOC tonight so I guess they think we'll get a sucker hole (or maybe it's a slow news day). A print reporter will be there too. patrick On 20 Feb 2008, at 15:52, Canopus56 wrote:

The six hour water vapour weather loop shows an ambiguous storm course for the rest of the evening.

The South Mtn Tooele County web cam shows socked in weather - similar to the current overcast in SLC.

But, the Wendover Nevada web cam shows hazy sunshine.

In conclusion, some potential for a late evening clearing of the cloud deck that might allow some visibility of the tail end of the eclipse.
