Now. Astoria Regional Airport is 57° and mostly clear at 9 AM. The dew point is 46°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Light air from the south-southeast at 3 mph.
Today and tonight. It warms to about 65° by 1 PM. Tonight falls to about 52° by 11 PM, under cloud. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. Highs stay close to 61° all week. Rain is likely tomorrow (82%). Rain is possible Thursday (39%).
The sky tonight. The sun sets at 6:28 PM. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 34% lit, and sets at 10:09 PM. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. 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 10 hours 55 minutes long, 3 minutes shorter than yesterday.
