Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 31° 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. Highs stay close to 56° all week. Rain is likely Thursday (56%). The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 30°.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 34% lit, and sets at 10:27 PM. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. After dark, look for Saturn, bright in the east-southeast.

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 13 minutes long, 3 minutes shorter than yesterday.
