Checking out the comet this week? Here are the comet set times for the next several nights. Best viewing tonight is a little after 7pm until a little after 8pm. Tonight and tomorrow likely the best as it will be getting a little more dim each night this week. #wbz

PASS IT ON! Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS has an 80,000 year orbit & it's now approaching its closest pass to Earth. It will get higher in the early evening sky through October 21st. Look to the west sky with the naked eye after sunset during twilight. Courtesy: Sky & Telescope. #Comet

The jetstream is about to get all sorts of bent out of shape in the next week or two...this ups the chances of bigger and more impactful storms...no guarantee where they will form or which areas will be hit hardest but definitely a time frame to watch
