Coming up. Rain is likely late tonight, from about 2 AM (62%).
Now. Range Regional Airport is 46° and light rain at 11 PM. With the wind it feels like 42°. The dew point is 43°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Gentle breeze from the north-northwest at 9 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 33° by 8 AM, under cloud. Air quality is moderate (index 61): fine for most people, though people unusually sensitive to air pollution may feel it outdoors.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Wednesday, near 64°, and the coolest tomorrow, near 46°. Rain is likely tomorrow (62%). The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 29°.
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-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 55 minutes long, 4 minutes shorter than yesterday.
As of 11:00 PM in Range Regional Airport, Minnesota.
