A big puff of dry, cool, boreal air has pushed the warm, saturated, southern system that dominated the early week south of Virginia but not far south. The center of the system dropped just off the Carolina coast and is regrouping as a coastal low that is going to make for a wet weekend on the Outer Banks. Here in central Virginia the skies are blue, the breeze freshening and it's a lovely spring Saturday. About time to go check on the baby foxes. The phoebe, now on the west speaker, has not come to terms with my comings and goings.
A steady but low magnitude shake week in the various quake zones of Earth. The CentralVaEquakeZone is eerily quiet. Popo's eruption continues: boulders, ash, some lava, all playing havoc on the surrounding countryside. Basaltic lava seems poised to ooze from the Comoros Island's shield northwest of Madagascar.
Tomorrow's New moon will be lined up with the sun but at apogee; the result an annular eclipse, the moon too far from earth to block the sun completely. The path of the near shadow sweeps over the north Pacific and adjacent land strips in Asia and North America. Hope for clear skies for them!
Get out Today on Earth!!
