No rain, no quakes and no heat for the second week of September here in central Va. An amazingly lovely week with temps dipping into the upper 40's and 50's overnight and 70's early and barely 80 by week's end. Friday was warm but a cold front moving through last night has cooled things back down and will only allow highs into the 70's for the weekend and week ahead. Monday and Tuesday are likely to be wet as the low at the end of the cold front will move from the gulf to the central Atlantic. 50's and 70's with dry conditions will make for a lovely end to summer.
The waning crescent moon has put on quite the show moving past Jupiter and then Venus through the constellations of winter this week. Venus is so bright you can see it's not round but close to quarter in the morning sky. The moon is new tonight at 10:11 EDT. It will reappear next week left of Saturn on Tuesday, near Mars on Wednesday and above and right of Antares in the head of Scorpio Thursday.
The quake list has calmed somewhat with very little red for the week but still the usual plate boundaries shift and rub against each other.
Nicaragua bursts onto the volcano list with two mountains, one rumbling the other raining ash and debris on nearby areas. The US and Indonesia each have 3 on the list, Soufriere Hills, Popo, Krakatau, and the Kamchatka peninsula all continue with the regular belching members.
Hope your chunk of the planet is not erupting or shaking and that atmospheric conditions make things lovely today on Earth. Get out and check it out.
