Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 51° by 6 AM, under a mostly clear sky. Air quality is moderate (index 56): fine for most people, though people unusually sensitive to air pollution may feel it outdoors.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 74°, and the coolest Monday, near 58°. Rain is likely tomorrow (53%). Rain is possible Saturday (43%).
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 27% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. Look for Saturn, bright in the south-southeast. A planet shines with a steady light where the stars around it twinkle.

The day is 10 hours 55 minutes long, 4 minutes shorter than yesterday.
