Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 26° by 12 AM, under cloud. A freeze: protect plants and pipes. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 38°, and the coolest Thursday, near 25°. Snow is likely Tuesday (81%) and Wednesday (86%). Rain is possible Monday (31%). The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 22°.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 35% 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. Cloud is forecast to cover most of the night, so the sky will be hard to see. The day is 9 hours 36 minutes long, 7 minutes shorter than yesterday.
As of 9:00 PM in Central, Alaska.
