A cool Canadian air mass has settled in across the eastern United States and will remain in place for the rest of the 4rth of July holiday weekend. This will lead to prime viewing conditions for firework displays tonight. These dry conditions will also lead to prime meteor watching conditions after the fireworks displays are over. Once the smoke clears, sit back and let the crowds clear out and continue to take in the night sky. Most fireworks displays should be over before the moon rises, so you will have about an hour or two of prime viewing conditions once the fireworks come to an end.
Last night I spent a few hours under the night sky. I saw several satellites, and a couple of meteors. It got a little nippy towards midnight here in West Virginia, and I was glad I brought a light jacket and a pair of sweat pants along.
