WEATHER COMMENT: Wed Sep 14 20:52:39 GMT 1994
In heavy orographic clouds.  Stopping MKIII and DPMON.


MKIII COMMENT: Wed Sep 14 20:53:11 GMT 1994
Got an almost complete scan at 2032.  May not be able to use as
a HISTORY scan, but good enough to FAX to Fisher.


MKIII COMMENT: Wed Sep 14 21:01:30 GMT 1994
BUG removed most of the effects of the wisp of cloud that tainted
2032 scan.  Putting that into HISTORY.  Will check after next good
day of data is saved whether the scan should be left in the
database or not.


WEATHER COMMENT: Wed Sep 14 21:29:36 GMT 1994
In heavy orographic clouds and occasional fog.  Shut down dome to
protect the instruments.  Control room systems on stand-by.


COMMENT: Wed Sep 14 21:48:06 GMT 1994
Talked to Fisher earlier this morning and gave him the bad news
that chances for obs today looked mighty slim.  He just called 
back very excited that our persistence paid off and we managed to
get him an NMAP for today.  The Houston crew got very excited when
our FAX arrived.

by with dome closed in hopes of a clearing.

Orographic clouds seem to be receding.  Opening dome but will
wait to start scans until sun begins to clear clouds.

Closed dome to avoid fog from low level cloud that has moved up 
from West.
