7-Day ForecastWRAL WeatherCenter Blog
WRAL's WeatherCenter meteorologists take you behind the weather headlines, answer questions and look to the sky to add insight and explanation for conditions in the Carolinas.

Happy New Year!

For all of us in the WRAL Weather Center, I'd like to wish you and yours a very happy and prosperous 2009!

I'd also like to invite you to spend some time throughout the year looking up and enjoying the show that is our ever-changing sky.  Just in the last few weeks, I've seen a couple instances of sun dogs and enjoyed a brief meteor shower.  Matter of fact, 2009 has been declared the International Year of Astronomy.  So, there's not been a better time to start looking up! 

To get you started, check out this awesome time-lapse movie of some of the wonders going on just above your head, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

If you've been inspired a bit, you can get a daily dose of out-of-this-world pictures by bookmarking the Astronomy Picture of the Day Web site.

Happy New Year!
