Alert. A Wind Advisory is in force for Oil Ranch until 1 AM Saturday. Read the alert in full, and see what it means in the Field Book. Tomorrow is 15 degrees cooler: a high of 76° after 91° today.
Now. Oil Ranch is 76° and mostly clear at 10 PM. The dew point is 72°, so the air feels very oppressive. Light air from the east-southeast at 3 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 68° by 8 AM, under a mostly clear sky. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Wednesday, near 88°, and the coolest Saturday, near 71°. The days ahead look dry. The windiest day is tomorrow, with wind to 20 mph.
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.
