Now. Jackson County Airport is 64° and clear at 11 PM. The dew point is 63°, so the air feels humid and sticky. Light air from the east-southeast at 2 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 58° by 8 AM, under a mostly clear sky. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 78°, and the coolest Saturday, near 54°. The days ahead look dry. The first freeze could come Sunday, a low of 31°.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 26% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Monday, Oct 26. 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 20 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
