Alert. A Small Craft Advisory is in force for Bathing Beach until 6 AM Saturday. Read the alert in full, and see what it means in the Field Book. Tomorrow is 18 degrees warmer: a high of 83° after 65° today.
Now. Bathing Beach is 62° and light rain at 10 PM. The dew point is 57°, so the air feels a little humid. Light breeze from the southeast at 6 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight holds near 61°, under cloud. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 83°, and the coolest Saturday, near 55°. Rain is likely tomorrow (77%) and Saturday (70%).
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 25% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Monday, Oct 26. 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. Cloud is forecast to cover most of the night, so the sky will be hard to see. The day is 11 hours 14 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
