Last week, it was the northern lights and now - for another astronomical treat - a comet should be visible to the naked eye during the next week to ten days or so in the western sky after sunset. Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS has now exited the sun’s glare having come closest to the sun in late September. It made its closest approach to Earth this past Saturday, October 11th, passing about 44 million miles away. It is now rising a little bit higher each night in the western sky and remaining visible for a little bit longer period; however, it is also going to lose some its brightness with each passing day.

A strong cold front that is trailing a low pressure system to our north will push through the region today and usher in the coolest air mass of the season so far. Temperatures this afternoon will likely peak in the lower 70’s and then be confined to the 60’s for highs on Tuesday and Wednesday. This chilly air outbreak will be rather short-lived and warmer conditions are going to return to the Tennessee Valley later in the week.

The dry, warm weather pattern of recent days will continue for the next few days with plenty of sunshine on a daily basis and high temperatures generally well up in the 70’s. As a result of the continued dry conditions, the risk of wildfire activity will remain elevated through much of the week. It does look like a cooler air mass will move into the region at the end of the week.

A strong cold front that is trailing a low pressure system to our north will push through the region today and usher in the chilliest air mass of the season so far. Temperatures this afternoon will likely peak in the low-to-mid 60’s with a developing stiff NW wind and then likely be confined to the 50’s for highs on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. This chilly air outbreak will give way to milder conditions by the latter part of the week and beginning of the upcoming weekend.

Temperatures should peak near the 80-degree mark for the next couple of days and then likely climb well up into the 80’s on Sunday. A cold front will cross the region by early next week and its passage will usher in the coolest air mass so far this season for much of the eastern half of the nation.

Temperatures will stay on the cool side today to end the work week, but then climb back into the middle 70’s on Saturday for afternoon highs with plenty of sunshine on both days. There can be a late day or evening shower on Sunday associated with a cold frontal passage that will usher in the chilliest air mass of the season so far for the first half of next week. In fact, there can be some snow early next week across portions of the interior, higher elevation Northeast US and the Great Lakes.
On another note, there was an explosion of auroras last night across the nation associated with the latest coronal mass ejection that was launched from the sun on Wednesday. Not only were the northern lights seen across the northern states last night, but observations came in from as far south as Alabama, Texas and Mississippi.
