Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 62° by 5 AM, under a mostly clear sky. No rain is expected for the rest of the day. Air quality is moderate (index 58): fine for most people, though people unusually sensitive to air pollution may feel it outdoors.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 75°, and the coolest Saturday, near 60°. The days ahead look dry.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 26% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. Look for Saturn, bright in the south-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.
