Now. Bluewater is 45° and clear at 11 PM. With the wind it feels like 38°. The dew point is 32°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Moderate breeze from the east-southeast at 15 mph, gusting to 31 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 36° by 7 AM, under a mostly clear sky. Frost can form on the ground in sheltered spots. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Tuesday, near 63°, and the coolest tomorrow, near 55°. Rain is likely Wednesday (55%). Rain is possible Sunday (35%), Monday (42%) and Tuesday (45%). The first freeze could come Saturday, a low of 31°.
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. The sky is forecast to stay clear: a good night to look up. The day is 11 hours 20 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
