Now. Ocean Lakes Beach is 73° and clear at 11 PM. The dew point is 70°, so the air feels oppressive. Light breeze from the south-southwest at 6 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 67° 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 tomorrow, near 84°, and the coolest Sunday, near 63°. Rain is likely Saturday (52%). The windiest day is Saturday, with wind to 20 mph.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 26% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Monday, Oct 26. Look for Saturn, bright in the south-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 23 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
