Coming up. Tomorrow is 9 degrees warmer: a high of 57° after 48° today.

Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 17° by 6 AM, under a mostly clear sky. A freeze: protect plants and pipes. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Saturday, near 61°, and the coolest tomorrow, near 57°. The days ahead look dry. The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 14°.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 26% 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 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 12 minutes long, 3 minutes shorter than yesterday.
