Now. Shaktoolik Airport is 33° and mostly cloudy at 11 PM. With the wind it feels like 21°. The dew point is 27°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Fresh breeze from the north at 24 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 31° by 5 AM, with some cloud. A freeze: protect plants and pipes. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. Highs stay close to 34° all week. Rain is possible tomorrow (48%). The windiest day is Tuesday, with wind to 28 mph. The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 28°.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 27% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. Look for Saturn, bright in the southeast. A planet shines with a steady light where the stars around it twinkle. The Orionids meteor shower is active, peaking around Oct 21: at its peak, up to about 20 meteors an hour can be seen from a dark site. The day is 9 hours 49 minutes long, 7 minutes shorter than yesterday.
