📚 This Week in RVA Weather History: The Election Day Flood (November 5, 1985) — the James River crested at 30.76 ft in Richmond, its second-highest on record. Were you here for this one? What do you remember — the river rising, the bridges closing, or Election Day itself?

Sky Watch: Moon, Venus & Spica Trio — Saturday, November 7 Before sunrise Saturday, Nov 7, a hairline waning crescent Moon — just 3% lit — joins brilliant Venus and Spica, Virgo's brightest star, in a tight group low in the east-southeast. All three fit in one binocular field — the closest grouping of the three from 2021 through 2036. Best window is about 5:40–6:20 AM, with the trio about 11° high at 6:00 AM and Richmond sunrise at 6:41 AM. Practical tip: pick a spot with a clear, open east-southeast horizon and bring binoculars. Fresh forecast check Friday evening: Friday's rain is clearing overnight, but NWS still shows partly to mostly cloudy skies at dawn (about half cloudy) — Venus may shine through breaks, but the thin crescent and Spica will be tougher if clouds linger, so peek outside before you commit.
