The mid-Atlantic is clouding toward a wet Saturday afternoon and a soaking Sunday that will remind us it is only April and there is plenty of cool northern air still nearby. Monday will wind down the rain but the cool will linger into much of next week. The good news with that is the drought and fire danger will go away for awhile. The dry April is about to change.
The quaking planet is shifting and shimming big time these days. Lots of red numbers - above 6 on the Richter scale - as well as plenty of upper 4's and 5's. Indo-Australian edges, the Scotia plate, and Eurasian African plate collisions are all slammin' and shiftin' and shaking up big chunks of the planet. Aftershocks continue from the 8+ Sumatran quakes last week. It is a shaky world. The CentralVaQuakeZone remains calm.
Volcano news is Popocatapetl; outside Mexico City, Popo, the big smoking mountain is bulging and spitting and appears ready to go into full eruption mode.
The moon was new at 3:18 this morning and a thin waxing crescent will slide up above low hanging Jupiter Sunday evening and be between bright Venus and much dimmer Aldebaran Tuesday night (probably the next time the sky will be clear enough to see any of that here in central Va).
It's your planet, get out and have a wander and look see!!!!
