Coming up. Rain is likely this evening, from about 7 PM (54%).
Now. Lorain County Regional Airport is 72° and mostly cloudy at 5 AM. The dew point is 67°, so the air feels oppressive. Gentle breeze from the southwest at 13 mph.
Today and tonight. The warmest of the day has passed; it cools to about 50° by 8 PM. Tonight falls to about 40° by 7 AM, under cloud. Air quality is moderate (index 57): fine for most people, though people unusually sensitive to air pollution may feel it outdoors.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Thursday, near 67°, and the coolest tomorrow, near 52°. Rain is likely tomorrow (87%). Frost is possible Sunday morning, a low of 33°.
The sky tonight. The sun sets at 6:46 PM. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 33% lit, and sets at 10:37 PM. The next full Moon is Monday, Oct 26. After dark, look for Saturn, bright in the east-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 11 hours 6 minutes long, 3 minutes shorter than yesterday.
