Coming up. Tomorrow is 9 degrees cooler: a high of 81° after 90° today.

Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 63° by 7 AM, under a mostly clear sky. No rain is expected for the rest of the day. Air quality is moderate (index 56): fine for most people, though people unusually sensitive to air pollution may feel it outdoors.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 81°, and the coolest Saturday, near 63°. The days ahead look dry.
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. The sky is forecast to stay clear: a good night to look up. The day is 11 hours 21 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
