Now. Shageluk Airport is 35° and light snow at 10 PM. With the wind it feels like 27°. The dew point is 29°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Gentle breeze from the north at 12 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 32° by 7 AM, under cloud. A freeze: protect plants and pipes.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 37°, and the coolest Tuesday, near 33°. Rain is likely tomorrow (62%) and Monday (55%). The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 31°.
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 59 minutes long, 6 minutes shorter than yesterday.
