Alert. A Test Message is in force for Seneca Creek State Park until 10:45 PM today. Read the alert in full, and see what it means in the Field Book. Tomorrow is 18 degrees warmer: a high of 82° after 64° today.
Now. Seneca Creek State Park is 57° and overcast at 10 PM. The dew point is 58°, so the air feels a little humid. Light air from the southeast at 3 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight holds near 60°, under cloud. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 82°, and the coolest Saturday, near 54°. Rain is likely tomorrow (84%). Rain is possible Saturday (44%). Frost is possible Sunday morning, a low of 36°.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 25% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Monday, Oct 26. Look for Saturn, bright in the 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 13 minutes long, 3 minutes shorter than yesterday.
