Hi Shane! I would recommend that you pay scant attention to long range weather forecasting. I know a meteorologist who says that forecasting beyond the first 24 hours is little better than guess work, with all the best computer modelling in existence, simply because of the huge number of variables involved. A weather forecast for 10 days away is unfortunately a stab in the dark at best.

I am sure we have all had that experience of writing off a night's observing because of a gloomy weather forecast, only to find others raving about what a fantastic night's observing was had. These days, the decision as to whether to go observing tends to be finalised by me about an hour or two before I make the drive!!

I will make an assessment on Saturday afternoon!! (Fingers crossed!!).
