The week. The warmest day ahead is Saturday, near 49°, and the coolest tomorrow, near 44°. The days ahead look dry. The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 10°.
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 southeast.
