Alert. A Gale Warning is in force for University Beach until 7 AM Saturday. Read the alert in full, and see what it means in the Field Book.
Now. University Beach is 82° and partly cloudy at 9 PM. With the humidity it feels like 85°. The dew point is 69°, so the air feels oppressive. Gentle breeze from the east-southeast at 9 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 76° by 8 AM, under a mostly clear sky. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Wednesday, near 86°, and the coolest Saturday, near 75°. Rain is possible Tuesday (36%). The windiest day is tomorrow, with wind to 31 mph.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 25% lit, and sets at 10:32 PM. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. 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 32 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
