Today and tonight. Tonight holds near 67°, under a mostly clear sky. No rain is expected for the rest of the day. 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 Wednesday, near 70°, and the coolest Saturday, near 54°. Rain is likely tomorrow (90%). Rain is possible Saturday (39%). 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 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 12 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
