Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 32° by 5 AM, under cloud. A freeze: protect plants and pipes. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 40°, and the coolest Tuesday, near 35°. Rain is likely tomorrow (55%), Sunday (55%) and Monday (53%). The windiest day is Tuesday, with wind to 21 mph. The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 30°.
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 10 hours 8 minutes long, 6 minutes shorter than yesterday.
