The Perseid Meteor shower is in full swing. Sky conditions should be great as they were last night. The moon rises at about a quarter past 11 pm tonight which might interfer slightly with viewing let’s say from midnight on. Meteor showers are the result of the earth passing through bits of debris left in a comet path. The Perseids appear every August as the earth crosses the path of comet Swift-Tuttle.

 6-10 Day Temperature Forecast The jet stream pattern which has provided us with cooler air and frequent rain shots looks as if it will back off a bit by next week. This week was spent watching this pattern, which had been focusing on the northeast and Great Lake states, gradually deepen and shift westward. This resulted in a continuous run of cool weather and frequent visits by fronts providing rain and storm chances. The pattern will still be very much in effect through thr weekend with yet another front riding through the area late Saturday. Now next week, an area of hot weather to our southwest will expand eastward into the plains and begin to heat us up. Nineties will likely return, possibily as early as Tuesday, and might last the week. The rain pattern will establish itself to our north and east once again as the possibility of ”backdoor cool fronts” (those that back in from the east) returns to the region. Share This:
I’ve been working to load up my YouTube page with storm chase videos. Some of the footage from this year is in HD. You’ll see stuff from 2004, the MSU chase class back in June and much more. The videos are sorted by the drop-down menu above or you can just go to WeathermanTed on YouTube. Keep checking in for more! Share This:
