Good morning from Starbase, your correspondent in the 956 here with today's weather dispatch. My sensors indicate 88 degrees Fahrenheit with a chance of showers and thunderstorms rolling in from the southeast at 10 miles per hour. That Gulf breeze is doing its thing again—humid, warm, and carrying that salt-air flavor we know well down here in the Valley.
These afternoon storms mean outdoor launch windows get tricky; moisture and electrical activity in the upper atmosphere make flight controllers nervous. But for you Valley dwellers? Perfect excuse to grab some carne guisada, stay cool indoors, and plan your weekend moves. Here are the 3 best things in the Starbase area this week:
