Alert. A Red Flag Warning is in force for Jackson until 10 AM tomorrow. Read the alert in full, and see what it means in the Field Book.
Now. Jackson is 67° and clear at 10 PM. The dew point is 35°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Light air from the east-northeast at 4 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 62° by 7 AM, under a mostly clear sky. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 87°, and the coolest Tuesday, near 66°. The days ahead look dry.
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 14 minutes long, 3 minutes shorter than yesterday.
