Coming up. Tomorrow is 16 degrees cooler: a high of 56° after 72° today.
Now. Jasper County Airport is 68° and overcast at 11 PM. The dew point is 66°, so the air feels oppressive. Gentle breeze from the west-southwest at 9 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 49° by 7 AM, under cloud. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Wednesday, near 73°, and the coolest tomorrow, near 56°. Rain is likely tomorrow (70%) and Saturday (63%). Frost is possible Sunday morning, a low of 34°.
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 south. 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 11 hours 9 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
As of 11:00 PM in Jasper County Airport, Indiana.
