Coming up. Tomorrow is 14 degrees cooler: a high of 58° after 72° today.
Now. Miami University Airport is 70° and light rain at 11 PM. The dew point is 70°, so the air feels oppressive. Light breeze from the south-southwest at 6 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 60° by 8 AM, with some cloud. Air quality is moderate (index 56): fine for most people, though people unusually sensitive to air pollution may feel it outdoors.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Tuesday, near 68°, and the coolest Saturday, near 52°. Rain is likely tomorrow (56%). The first freeze could come Sunday, a low of 32°.
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 day is 11 hours 12 minutes long, 3 minutes shorter than yesterday.
