Michael McCants' report below with Kerry Coughlin's miss from +31 km 
essentially at the predicted northern limit shows that the path 
probably shifted south by a small amount; McCants' location was at -
29 km, just 3 km n. of the predicted southern limit.  Unfortunately, 
it remained cloudy across Maryland & surrounding States, as well as 
over central Tenn. and n.w. Louisiana; the 3rd Astro Meteo forecast 
was much better than the last one.  I hope there might be some other 
positive observations of this.  Many thanks, Mike, for your 
observation and quick report!
