I've neglected to mention it on the air the last couple of days, but we've had great weather the last couple of nights for viewing the International Space Station in our sky.  Here are the specifics from NASA:

The "MAX ELEV" is the angle above the horizon that the space station will appear the highest in the sky, and the "APPROACH" and "DEPARTURE" are the directions you should look.

We're hoping to keep skies clear enough at least through Wednesday night for decent viewing.  Enjoy!
