INSTRUMENT STATUS: All the instruments are working and power has not had any issues in the rain. There were some internet issues across the valley presumably related to thunderstorms, but we appeared to have weathered the storm well.
WEATHER INFO: Again, today was cool and rainy. Showers and storms lasted all day and were heavy at times. Additional rain is possible tomorrow, but showers should start becoming lighter and less frequent after noon and into Saturday. A high pressure center is approaching Portugal, and the forecast still calls for clear weather and a warming trend beginning on Sunday 14 May. The winds will be veering from westerly to easterly early in the clearing period. We plan to start looking at more details to select at least one night next week for a supersonde IOP
PREVIOUS DAY OPS: Rain kept most people from doing much. Towers are still going up. There were some issues with tower power and surrounding network last night and today due to storms and lightning.
SITE PHOTOS: None today. Rain!
NEXT DAY OPS: None tonight, rain!
