Visitors:
Couldn't tell ya.

Weather:
Unfortunately today's forecast was correct. Rain persisted throughout the day along with poor visibility. It looked like there was going to be a slight break in the mid afternoon but to no avail. Thanks to Derek and Jeannette for the team effort in helping keep an eye on the radar and checking visibility conditions which allowed me to accomplish some other tasks.

Raptor Observations:
Zilch

Non-raptor Observations:
Nada

Predictions:
The wet weather should persist during the overnight hours and be moving out of the area during the morning hours, leaving a chance of showers during the first start of the count. Clouds may be breaking up as the day carries, on with winds shifting from the northwest to the southwest by afternoon. Temps look mild, in the mid to upper 40's. Tomorrow afternoon holds promise, on paper anyway.
