Coming up. Rain is likely this evening, from about 7 PM (53%).

Today and tonight. It warms to about 82° by 4 PM. Tonight falls to about 52° by 8 AM, under cloud.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Tuesday, near 66°, and the coolest tomorrow, near 55°. Rain is likely tomorrow (70%).
The sky tonight. The sun sets at 6:28 PM. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 33% lit, and sets at 10:26 PM. The next full Moon is Monday, Oct 26. After dark, 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. Cloud is forecast to cover most of the night, so the sky will be hard to see. The day is 11 hours 11 minutes long, 3 minutes shorter than yesterday.
