A cold front will push out the sultry air left behind by Isaac tomorrow and usher in a breath of cool, dry, fall-like air. Lows will drop into the low 60's for Sunday morning and then dip into the 50's for much of next week. Daytime highs will only be in the low 70's for most of that time. Fall is two weeks away but after a week of tropical, Isaac air, an early bit of fall will feel fine. No rain today was the first time without the wet stuff all week. That will likely change tomorrow as the front slide through.
Tomorrow is last quarter moon at 9:15am EDT so clear sky in the evening will not be flooded with moon light until the wee hours. When it does come up tonight it will be right underneath Jupiter and to the east (left) of Aldebaran in Taurus, with both hanging above Orion. These winter constellations are moving back into the sky, even if only in the middle of the night. Mars and Saturn have switched positions in the west at sunset with Mars hanging out in that spot for the rest of 2012 but Saturn will be left behind the sun from our view by September's end.
The planet is still quite shaky with lots of quakes in the upper 4's and 5's and a 7.6 quake hammered Costa Rica on Wednesday. Quite a few mid-ocean ridges are slipping around recently, and that has to mean push on the other end, somewhere. And, there are a lot of somewheres on the list these days. Central Va. is fortunately quiet.
A new volcano in the Aleutians at the top end of the Ring O Fire is one of many all along the ring. Indonesia, Kamchatka, Hawaii, Central and South America, even a seamount make for sizable list.
Today on this part of Earth was hot; tomorrow will be a slide to coolness. Get out and enjoy that cool.
