Coming up. Tomorrow is 15 degrees warmer: a high of 76° after 61° today.
Now. Torrington Municipal Airport is 55° and clear at 4 PM. The dew point is 21°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Gentle breeze from the south-southeast at 11 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 32° by 6 AM, under a mostly clear sky. A freeze: protect plants and pipes. 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 76°, and the coolest Sunday, near 70°. The days ahead look dry. The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 30°.
The sky tonight. The sun sets at 6:14 PM. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 34% lit, and sets at 10:06 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. The sky is forecast to stay clear: a good night to look up. The day is 11 hours 5 minutes long, 3 minutes shorter than yesterday.
