Now. Central Airport is 29° and overcast at 11 PM. The dew point is 26°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. The air is calm.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 23° by 6 AM, under cloud. A freeze: protect plants and pipes. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Saturday, near 37°, and the coolest Tuesday, near 26°. Rain or snow is likely tomorrow (59%), Tuesday (76%) and Wednesday (85%). The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 21°.
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 south-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 9 hours 41 minutes long, 7 minutes shorter than yesterday.
