Showers and thunderstorms are expected on Saturday but chances drop to 30% on Sunday so that definitely looks like the best day of your weekend for outdoor activities. Next week hotter weather comes and we will see highs in the low 90s every afternoon with partly sunny skies and that typical chance of an afternoon pop up. 

We had a beautiful rainbow the other day, Did you know the rainbow is mentioned in the Bible? God put the rainbow in the sky as the sign of his promise that he would never again destroy the earth with flood (Genesis 9:13–17).  To view a rainbow, simply stand with your back to the Sun when showers are in the area and the rainbow will be in front of you. 

For our astronomy enthusiasts, I hope you were able to view the Perseid meteor shower last week. The next big shower is December 13-14 and I will remind you  before its  occurrence. We have two bright planets that you can see in the nighttime sky this week. Venus is bright in the Western sky after sunset and Jupiter rises in the Southeastern and Southern Sky late at night, great viewing especially for those of you with a good telescope.  A full moon is coming on Sunday.
