The predictions are calling for a 50% chance of rain & mostly cloudy skies.
On the other hand one novice astronomer , Rob Watson, saw 72 bright Perseids Thursday, and we had a great night last Sat. Three good nights in a week might be to much to ask for.

Perseid Meteor Shower - Thursday, Aug. 12th
Stonelick State Park has given us permission to observe one of the years best meteor showers. Last Saturday we watched the Milky Way climb across the sky as occasional stray meteors blazed overhead. We should have some scopes set up by 9:00, but people come and go all night.
Everyone's welcome, consider bringing a blanket, lawn chairs, beverages and snacks.

Stonelick Stargazing Saturday Aug. 7th
We've got moderate temps, lower humidity and twilight at a better hour. Basically perfect.
Sunset's around 8:40 and there's enough to look at all night.
I've already talked to around 20 folks planning on going out .
