A low pressure center off NC, coupled with a stationary front parked along the VA/NC border has us trapped for day #2 in a cool, misty world of drizzle and yuck. The wind off the Atlantic, flush with moisture and banked against the mountains, creates this wedge of cool, damp air that will persist for at least another day before a breath of warmer air moves it all east, hopefully, by tomorrow. Still, another unsettled week of occasional sun and scattered storms is in the forecast, with heat for the midweek and a real cold front to sweep it all away for a clear and dry, fall-like last weekend of September.
A very quiet day on the plate fractured planet, only 35-ish quakes in the last 24 hours with nothing bigger than magnitude 5.4 on the east edge of the Scotia plate. Volcanoes, no doubt, spew and belch forth but I haven't looked into that aspect of the active planet beyond last week's updated list.
Clouds will be back lit by tonight's full moon, the Harvest Moon, but not much chance of spotting the moon itself with those thick clouds created by the northeast wedge locked in here. If it's clear where you are, get out and harvest some crops like humans have done with this moon for millennium. I will try and get in another damp walk in the slippery forest with a recently returned, wayward dog. His girlfriend is in heat, two doors over, and though he can only sniff and dream, that has him occupied and more than willing to forgo a walk with me, truly a dog, Today On Earth.
