AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Spotty showers will continue to move through the area this evening and overnight. Our best chance of rain comes as a cold front drops through Central Texas just before dawn on Sunday. Overnight lows drop into the upper 40s by early Sunday morning.Early morning rain chance on SundaySunday is breezy and chilly, but should actually feature increasing sunshine into the afternoon. Highs probably won't get out of the 50s to wrap up the weekend, but a few spots may just about reach 60º. The wind will be blustery with gusts 20-30 mph at times. This may be enough to cause isolated outages, but in most areas the wind will just make the highs in the 50s feel colder.Gusty Sunday aheadMonday starts in the upper 30s and high temperatures only reach the mid to upper 50s under a mostly cloudy sky.The wind settles down and skies clear out Monday night to allow for some near-freezing morning lows on Tuesday.

For the last couple of weeks, the sun has been setting earlier and earlier. While daylight saving time is largely to blame (it did move sunset times up by a whole hour), where we are in our orbit also has an impact. So when will the sun stop setting so early? It ultimately depends on where you live. The Earth is on a tilt, as you probably know. That means there is a time when we’re tilted toward the sun, during summer, and a time when we’re tilted away from the sun, during winter. This gives us more hours of sunlight in summer and fewer in winter (in case you haven’t noticed).We’re only a few weeks away from the “shortest” day of the year, December 22. Here in the U.S., we’ll experience the least amount of daylight hours on that day. Turkey leftovers: How long is too long in the refrigerator? While it may be a little depressing to think about being shrouded in even more darkness, early and mid-December mark a big turning point: the sun will start setting later across the U.S...San Jose State football: Spartans beat Vegas, await fate

(BCN) -- At Apple's modern spaceship campus in Cupertino, engineers and designers work year-round on the latest iterations of the company's iconic gadgets, always focused on the future.In a much more plain building just across Wolfe Road, the pace of change is a bit slower. In fact, not much has changed in four decades at The Duke of Edinburgh, a traditional English pub in the center of Silicon Valley."There's nothing quite like The Duke, it's so authentic," Jason Foreman, a board member of the Cupertino Historical Society and Museum, told San Jose Spotlight.

Hostages released by Hamas have returned to Israel, Israeli military says The owners threw the pub a 40th birthday party earlier this month, celebrating with a DJ, dance floor, food and drinks. It's unclear if the birthday bash could be the last for The Duke, however, due to a developer's looming plans for a hotel on the site--but the pub's longtime patrons and employees say they're relishing the tim...Latest news
