However, I wasn’t able to take photos of the comet. The amount of light was too great for my iPad to take pictures.
Here’s some tips for viewing the comet:
1. Bring binoculars. It makes viewing the comet so much better. You’re able to really see what it looks like.
2. Go to a location where there is less light. My travels last night took me to Dash Point in Federal Way, on the side of a small road in a tight neighborhood overlooking Puget Sound. Using the binoculars, it was a great place to see the comet!
3. If you want to take comet pictures, have a professional camera and Google the ways to correctly view Comet Neowise.
You have less than 2 weeks to view the comet...it is slowly fading from view, even as it gets closer to the earth, because it is farther from the light of the sun. This one won’t be back for 6,800 years, so go and see it!!
Now over to the weather...expect clouds today and tomorrow, with a chance of rain tonight and early tomorrow. Increased clouds today and warm temperatures make it a tad bit muggy outside. Lots of dew points around 60F. Muggy for us.
This graphic from NWS Seattle shows what to expect for the next 3 days.
After Friday...we will warm up again! This weekend will be mostly sunny! (Yes, that is possible...it won’t rain on a weekend).
From Saturday on, heat builds. Our warmest temperatures of the year. Here is the Puyallup forecast from the very reliable weather.com forecast.
Yes, that says 90 degrees. Tuesday will most likely be the warmest day of 2020 so far. Want even more heat? Go to the Tri-Cities, where 100+ degrees is likely, as hot as 105F on Tuesday.
Remember to NEVER leave children or pets in a hot car and ALWAYS take heat safety precautions.
I know where I will be on Monday...
