Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 32° by 5 AM, under a mostly clear sky. A freeze: protect plants and pipes.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 48°, and the coolest Wednesday, near 40°. Rain is likely Monday (70%) and Tuesday (77%). Rain is possible Wednesday (43%). The windiest day is Tuesday, with wind to 22 mph. 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. The sky is forecast to stay clear: a good night to look up. The day is 10 hours 10 minutes long, 6 minutes shorter than yesterday.
