Mountain passes/Colorado/Ute Pass
Now. Ute Pass is 20° and clear at 1 AM. With the wind it feels like 16°. The dew point is 20°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Light air from the east-southeast at 3 mph.
Today and tonight. It warms to about 51° by 3 PM. Tonight falls to about 24° 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 Wednesday, near 61°, and the coolest Monday, near 57°. Rain is possible Thursday (34%). The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 21°.
The sky tonight. The sun sets at 6:22 PM. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 34% lit, and sets at 10:19 PM. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. After dark, look for Saturn, bright in the east-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.
