A strong cold front pushed through the region on Monday and ushered in the coolest air mass of the season so far. Temperatures this afternoon will hold in the middle 60’s for highs and then even lower on Wednesday afternoon close to the 60-degree mark. This chilly air outbreak will be somewhat short-lived and warmer conditions are going to return to the Tennessee Valley later in the week.
One other note, a comet should continue to be visible in the low western sky during each of the next few evenings given favorable sky conditions and “dark enough” environmental conditions….rough time period for viewing is 45 minutes after sunset.

A strong cold front passed through the region on Monday and ushered in the chilliest air mass of the season so far. Temperatures for the next few days will be well below-normal for the middle of October and there can be frost in the overnight hours in some suburban locations with lows down in the 30’s. It turns a bit milder by the end of the week and the weekend is looking quite comfortable with sunshine likely on both days.

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.

It does look like a cooler air mass will move into the region at the end of the week.
