Alert. A Red Flag Warning is in force for Rogers Field until 10 AM tomorrow. Read the alert in full, and see what it means in the Field Book.

The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 78°, and the coolest Tuesday, near 56°. Rain is possible Tuesday (33%). The first freeze could come Tuesday, 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 south-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 10 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
