Looking at the satellite images it appears that the high altitude clouds are moving in from the northwest and there is a long line of clouds in the images. It is likely these conditions will continue throughout the remainder of the day. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Tue Mar 15 00:06:52 GMT 2022 Dome is closed.
