Today and tonight. It warms to about 69° by 4 PM. Tonight falls to about 44° by 2 AM, under a mostly clear sky. No rain is expected for the rest of the day. Air quality is moderate (index 51): fine for most people, though people unusually sensitive to air pollution may feel it outdoors.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 70°, and the coolest Monday, near 61°. The days ahead look dry. The first freeze could come Wednesday, a low of 32°.
The sky tonight. The sun sets at 6:09 PM. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 34% lit, and sets at 9:52 PM. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. After dark, look for Saturn, bright in the east-southeast.

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.
