Feels like 42°·Light air 3 mph ENE
Now. Elmendorf Air Force Base is 44° and partly cloudy at 9 PM. The dew point is 37°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Light air from the east-northeast at 3 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 38° by 8 AM, under a mostly clear sky. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 48°, and the coolest Wednesday, near 40°. Rain is likely Tuesday (73%). Rain is possible Monday (45%) and Wednesday (44%). The first freeze could come Sunday, a low of 31°.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 26% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. 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. The sky is forecast to stay clear: a good night to look up. The day is 10 hours 7 minutes long, 5 minutes shorter than yesterday.
