Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 38° by 8 AM, under cloud. No rain is expected for the rest of the day. Air quality is moderate (index 52): fine for most people, though people unusually sensitive to air pollution may feel it outdoors.

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 south-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 11 hours 3 minutes long, 3 minutes shorter than yesterday.
As of 11:00 PM in Fulda, Minnesota.
