Discussion
We did indeed surpass the record for wettest year ever this weekend, but now we’ll have a few days to dry out before yet another large-scale rain event takes place. A strong cold front is passing through the region today and winds will pick up in intensity as the day progresses from a northwesterly direction. It’ll turn colder-than-normal by tonight and the chill will stick around through mid-week. Another widespread rain event is coming here later in the week as milder air pushes northward along the eastern seaboard. The likely timetable for this next rain event is Thursday night and Friday and showers may linger into Saturday. One final note, Comet 46P/Wirtanen made its closest approach to Earth on Sunday and there may be an opportunity to look for it later tonight following many recent cloudy nights...best bet is to look near Pleiades late in the evening.
