Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 45° by 7 AM, under cloud.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Tuesday, near 59°, and the coolest tomorrow, near 51°. Rain is likely tomorrow (77%). Rain is possible Tuesday (31%). Frost is possible Sunday morning, a low of 34°.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 33% lit, and sets at 9:49 PM. The next full Moon is Monday, Oct 26. Look for Saturn, bright in the east-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. Cloud is forecast to cover most of the night, so the sky will be hard to see. The day is 11 hours 6 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
