On any autumn or winter evening, scan between Cassiopeia and Perseus for the magnificent #DoubleCluster in #Perseus. The #stars in these 2 clusters are young, hot supergiant suns that are many thousands of times more luminous than our sun. 🌌🔭

The weekly Drought Monitor improved for our area. The data is collected through 7am every Tues & analyzed Tue & Wed. Then, the map is released each Thur at 8am. The downside is many of us haven't had rain since late last week. So, this improvement may be short lived. #tnwx #kywx #NC5

MUCH NEEDED rain in our forecast! We don't want too much of a good thing! As showers & storms develop over the next several days, a few storms may be strong to severe. Damaging winds will be the primary threat. Heavy downpours may lead to some localized flash flooding.
