Coming up. Snow is likely late tonight, from about 3 AM (55%).
Now. Fort Yukon Airport is 29° and overcast at 10 PM. With the wind it feels like 21°. The dew point is 23°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Gentle breeze from the northeast at 9 mph, gusting to 20 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 24° by 8 AM, under cloud. A freeze: protect plants and pipes.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Saturday, near 33°, and the coolest Monday, near 23°. Rain or snow is likely tomorrow (75%), Tuesday (56%) and Wednesday (61%). The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 22°.
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. Cloud is forecast to cover most of the night, so the sky will be hard to see. The day is 9 hours 35 minutes long, 7 minutes shorter than yesterday.
