Cold front, rain, then autumn

If you need some outdoor time, for raking leaves or cleaning up the garden, or just a mental-health walk in the park, take it today. The forecast calls for a cold front to pass through tonight and tomorrow, bringing a 60 percent chance of rain and gusty winds on Thursday.

But it will pass quickly, and the rest of the week, while cooler and more autumnal than we've seen so far, will be sunny and beautiful. The nights will be clear, too, this weekend, So if you missed Venus and Mars last night (see previous post) the show continues each night, with only slight changes in the curtain times.
