Coming up. Tomorrow is 20 degrees cooler: a high of 55° after 75° today.
Now. Scott Municipal Airport is 66° and partly cloudy at 4 AM. The dew point is 64°, so the air feels humid and sticky. Light breeze from the south-southwest at 6 mph.
Today and tonight. It warms to about 72° by 11 AM. Tonight falls to about 44° by 8 AM, under cloud. 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 Thursday, near 73°, and the coolest tomorrow, near 55°. Rain is possible tomorrow (34%). Frost is possible Sunday morning, a low of 35°.
The sky tonight. The sun sets at 7:01 PM. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 33% lit, and sets at 11:06 PM. The next full Moon is Monday, Oct 26. 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 11 hours 16 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
