Weatherwatcher: The week ahead is sunny

-Tomorrow night, May 6th, 2012, at 8:27 PM the moon will be what is called a Super Full Moon.

-The week ahead - Sunny!, then the weekend goes to gloomy gray, and rain.

-Highlights.

-Weather data April 14th - May 4th.

Tomorrow May 6th, 2012, at 8:27 PM we will have a Super Full Moon.  The moon will be a full Moon, and it will be at it's closest point to Earth in it's orbit around the planet.   The Moon's orbit is elliptical and tomorrow night it just happens to be at it's closest point while being a full Moon, skies should be cleared up at this time as well  So it should be a perfect night for Moon viewing and photographing.  The Moon will appear bigger, and brighter than normal.

The week ahead looks very spring like.  We may reach 70°F on Monday!  The weather will start to slowly degrade Tuesday-Thursday.  Looks like our next rain producing storm will bulldoze through here Friday afternoon for a weekend of wet weather.

Highlights will be discontinued for the remainder of the spring and summer unless we have an exceptional storm.  Weekly highlights will return next October, or when the weather starts to get wild.  On that note, On Thursday May 3rd, we received 1.34 inches of rain, which is a large amount for a daily rainfall total in May.
