Alert. A Gale Warning is in force for Metlakatla Seaplane Base until 5 PM tomorrow. 1 more alert is in force here as well. Read the alert in full, and see what it means in the Field Book. Rain is likely tonight, from about 9 PM (100%).
Now. Metlakatla Seaplane Base is 56° and overcast at 9 PM. The dew point is 54°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Fresh breeze from the south-southeast at 21 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 52° by 7 AM, under cloud.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 54°, and the coolest Sunday, near 49°. Rain is likely tomorrow (100%), Saturday (100%), Sunday (100%), Monday (50%), Tuesday (92%) and Wednesday (97%). The windiest day is tomorrow, with wind to 27 mph.
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 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 32 minutes long, 5 minutes shorter than yesterday.
