Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 33° by 7 AM, under a mostly clear sky. Frost can form on the ground in sheltered spots. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 62°, and the coolest Thursday, near 56°. Rain is possible Thursday (39%). The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 32°.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 35% 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 10 hours 55 minutes long, 4 minutes shorter than yesterday.
