Summer starts tomorrow: Watch the sunset at Solstice Park

So far the forecast looks great – finally! (cross your fingers) – for NASA Solar System Ambassador Alice Enevoldsen‘s summer-solstice-sunset-watching event tomorrow night at Solstice Park (uphill from the tennis courts across from the north end of Lincoln Park – scroll down this story for the map on Alice’s site). Sunset is at 9:11 pm; get there by 8:45 to get a good spot and talk with Alice (here’s our story, with video, from her spring-equinox event). If the forecast holds true, this will break Alice’s string of consecutive sunless solstice/equinox events at 8. (2010 winter-solstice photo of Alice and sungazer, by Jason Gift Enevoldsen)

Think we’ll break the streak? Who knows …

Tracy you’ve obviously been out of California long enough to go native. That forecast is filled with “mostly cloudy chance of showers highs in mid-low 60s”! But yes, it is great and I’m enjoying the heck out of it. Yesterday was the first time I can remember walking home in a t-shirt no sweater.

The forecast is updated every six hours or so on the site I prefer … When I published the story, it was “mostly sunny” today (as it has been and as the forecast still says) and “mostly clear” tonight – that part has since changed to partly cloudy. Here’s hoping the “tonight” means “after dark.” Not seeing too many clouds on the horizon from here, but obviously things change fast! – TR
