June kicks off in the Mid-Atlantic with a warm, wild day as a warm front slides in for morning showers before being swept off-shore by a cold front and waves of t-storms. Wild winds (maybe a tornado), heavy rain, lots of lightning and reports of hail from mid-afternoon into the evening across the state. And, then it's gone and the cool, dry, loveliness of post-cold front weather moves in and drops overnight temps into the 50 and sunny days only in the 70's. The pleasant conditions are likely to linger for much of the week.
The earthquake list has few surprise locations and no terribly strong quakes (northern Italy is off the list for a couple of days, much to their delight). The no quake stretch continues in Va. No one is convinced we're done, however, but we'll take the no shake time.
The world's active volcanos are mostly still active, no new names on that list. Popo continues its eruption outside Mexico City but remains at code Yellow.
The moon is full at 7:12am EDT Monday, June 4th and will dip into earth's shadow for sky watchers in the western US and Pacific rim. Tuesday afternoon will be the last of our life time transit of Venus across the face of the sun. Get your solar filter, eye protection or pin-hole viewers ready, you won't see this one again.
Get out and check out your lovely planet. I'm going looking for baby foxes!
