Can you dig it? I know I can. As we roll into the evening hours for fireworks displays plan on dry & mild conditions with mostly clear skies. Heads up--the ground you plan to sit on will probably still be wet & muddy from all the recent rains.
Sunday features more of the same....sunshine with temps near 80. Mmmm, nice real nice. Once again the westerly breeze will be noticeable (and yet refreshing).
Looking into next week, a weak system may do some sight-seeing in the TUE-WED time-frame. Those days look like the best chance for some showers.
On June 12, 2009, Russia's Sarychev Peak volcano erupted, hurling an enormous plume of ash and sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere. This has produced some unusually beautiful sunrises and sunsets around the northern hemisphere. When the sun goes down, delicate ripples of white appear over the western horizon. Then, as twilight deepens, the sky turns a lovely shade of "volcanic lavender." Fine volcanic aerosols in the stratosphere scatter blue light which, when mixed with ordinary sunset red, produce the lavender hue. Other signs to look for include a bright yellow "twilight arch" and long crepuscular rays and shadows.
Follow the plume of ash in this animation. Look for the orange highlights!
