The nighttime was primarily clear.  After 12 UTC, winds turned northeasterly, extensive low clouds, light rain and cool.

Instrument Status:
Stirling cooler is behaving itself and the AERI data looks good.  Power fluctuation at Homestead site caused the Bago surface station to fail at 18 UTC.  No surface station data for the rest of the day.
