Canadian air has made a visit to central Virginia, an amazing relief to the sweltering humidity of July. It was shockingly cool when I stepped outside this morning, and the north wind from the strong high pressure dome over the northeast made it even cooler: wonderful!
Tomorrow morning is going to be even cooler when morning lows will dip into the low 60's and even 50's in western Va. The late weekend will bring a return to more humid air with the chance of showers back in the forecast but until then cool, dry, breezy conditions will prevail, get out and enjoy the planet.
Tropical Storm Dorian has formed in the eastern Atlantic off Africa and is cruising across the waters at fairly high speed but it's still a long ways from any land and predictions are really guesses at this point in time. Already 50 mph winds so Dorian bears watching - for next week.
Equake list is pretty low key so far for this day 5 months from Xmas and the world's volcanoes are taking a break, too. The new weekly update has only the most usual of big smoking mountains and none of them are doing much more than belching and spitting a little ash and gas.
Venus still dominates the evening sky and with the moon waning get out after dark and see of you can see the summer Milky Way. It's that "milky" swath running from the southwest (the center in Sagittarius) to the North (through the Summer Triangle of Vega, Altair and Cygnus). It might look like a cloud in your dark sky but that's our galaxy home.
Today on Earth is gorgeous here in the central Atlantic coast, get out and enjoy the cool.
