Hi FAS folks:
Our Fall public observation at Pilot Mountain is scheduled for this Saturday, November 15. Currently, the weather forecast is favorable, but I will send out a weather update on Friday afternoon. If we have to cancel due to rain (or snow), we will try for the next Saturday, November 22.
There is cold weather coming in this week, and remember that it is always much colder (and windy) up at the top of the mountain, so please dress accordingly.
Steve C.
Sunset 5:15 PM
