Now. Aniak Airport is 37° and mostly cloudy at 7 PM. With the wind it feels like 31°. The dew point is 29°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Light breeze from the north at 7 mph.
Today and tonight. It warms to about 38° by 7 PM. Tonight falls to about 32° by 3 AM, under cloud. A freeze: protect plants and pipes. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. Highs stay close to 36° all week. Rain is possible tomorrow (33%), Monday (41%) and Tuesday (34%). The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 30°.
The sky tonight. The sun sets at 7:25 PM. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 26% lit, and sets at 8 PM. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. After dark, look for Saturn, bright in the east-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. Cloud is forecast to cover most of the night, so the sky will be hard to see. The day is 10 hours 5 minutes long, 6 minutes shorter than yesterday.
