Spring A Little Early

The not as cold as thought morning will quickly turn into a warm, southern air day with temps well into the 60's with nothing but warmer conditions coming for the week ahead. Blue skies and spring-like temps with the extra hour of daylight at day's end will make Sunday a fine day to be out on the big planet.
For those up late enough to see the waning gibbous moon, you may have noticed the two stars riding with the moon. Only one was a star; the one on the left (east) was (and still is) Saturn and it's easy to see that with a pair of binoculars. The star is Spica, the brightest star in Virgo. The moon will be up 50 minutes or so later tonight and will have slid farther east of the the star and planet but it won't be far away.
Get out and check out your home planet.
