With our crystal clear skies this evening we will have an extra treat of being able to see the Space Shuttle and International Space Station this evening at 8:11pm in the south-southwestern sky. Space Shuttle Endeavor which detached from the space station earlier today will be the first object visible with the space station following right behind. And if you miss it tonight you’ll be able to see them again tomorrow evening, just check the aforementioned ISS link. Both spacecrafts will be moving from right to left in the southern sky this evening. Endeavor will be landing Wednesday evening and tomorrow I will post the landing ground tracks when they become available from NASA. Weather-wise expect smooth sailing with warmer temperatures through the rest of the week into the weekend. Weakening frontal boundaries will approach the region and should become nearly stationary to our north and west this weekend and early next week which may allow for slight rain chances beginning Friday and continuing into the weekend and early next week. It appears that our best chance for stronger storms will come about the middle part of next week…around the 2nd or 3rd of April.
Shuittle and Space Station Visible Tonight!
