1600 NW F4 35km - 1/CU
RMK: The 1 okta of CU is ragged Cumulus fractus; other cloud seen - a
'trace' of SC and to the distant north, some Cumulus mediocris or
perhaps congestus - the radar shows SHRA (showers of rain) in that
direction so it's just possible we're seeing those. A fine, breezy dusk
about to set in: wind noticeably less gusty than an hour or so ago=
