Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 17° by 4 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 49°, and the coolest Monday, near 43°. The days ahead look dry. The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 15°.
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. 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.
