An "Average" End to July

A weak front slid into the region yesterday, kicked off a few showers and brought a little cooler, drier air into the region. The clear skies made for a lovely evening sky; the moon hanging above Scorpio and Mars, Saturn and Spica a little farther west. Lightning off to the east in the big cumulonimbus clouds completed the nighttime show. The waxing moon will be closer to Sagittarius tonight.
A couple of quakes above 6 in plate edge zones, and most of the other normal quake spots and an aftershock here in Va. - not showing on the list??? but I know that noise and rumble - in the wee hours of Saturday morning. 17 volcanoes on the list and no surprises; Popo and Sakura-Jima still most active of the lot.
The front will hang around for a couple of days increasing the chance of showers Monday and more likely Tuesday and temperatures will be close to average most of the week: lows near 70 and highs around 90.
It's not bad for July, get out and check out your planet, today on Earth.
