Coming up. Tomorrow is 16 degrees cooler: a high of 74° after 90° today.
Now. Abernathy Field is 66° and clear at 9 PM. The dew point is 64°, so the air feels humid and sticky. The air is calm.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 62° by 6 AM, under a mostly clear sky. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Wednesday, near 77°, and the coolest Saturday, near 62°. 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 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 20 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
