When I got out there about 4:30, there was a small storm.  25 mph 
winds and light rain.  It moved on by 5:30, and gave us a beautiful 
triple rainbow.

I was able to set up an H-Alpha scope for the science teacher's 
picnic in the parking lot.  Had some good prominences.  I and a 
couple of the teachers got to view a spectacular sunset through the 
scope, and some clouds partially obscured the sun, and it moved 
behind the sharp silhouette of the mountains, all in the deep red of 
the filter.
