When it was still rising at about 30 degrees NW, it slowly became more and more brilliant, much brighter than Venus for a moment, then it dimmed down to Jupiter's magnitude and never increase in magnitude again.

Yes, hopefully with 1 day advance notice so I can bring my telescope and binocular to the office!
