I’m dissatisfied. It seems like clouds will make viewing of the meteor bathe tonight inconceivable for many residents in Washington State.
The lastest seen satellite tv for pc picture exhibits plenty of clouds over the area. However the true threats are the clouds stretching from the WA Cascade to the east. Excessive clouds which are transferring westward over in direction of western WA. There are decrease clouds over NW Oregon…they may evaporate round sundown.
The infrared satellite tv for pc picture, which accentuates excessive clouds (white) present the problematic cloud area clearly.
The very newest NOAA/NWS HRRR forecast of clouds at 10 PM tonight (the time of max meteors) exhibits 100% clouds (blue colours) over a lot of Washington, however low cloud cowl over elements of western Oregon.
Northwest Oregon is the place it’s essential go in case you are a critical meteor watcher. And the additional south you go, the sooner the sundown…one other benefit!
The most recent forecast of the NOAA/NWS Nationwide Mix of Fashions offers the same story (see beneath).
Sorry to be the supply of unhealthy information….. I really like astronomy and nearly went that approach for my career–so I’m notably sad to overlook a doubtlessly main meteor storm.
