Weather/New Mexico/Talpa
Now. Talpa is 39° and clear at 11 PM. With the wind it feels like 31°. The dew point is 24°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Moderate breeze from the north-northeast at 15 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 29° by 6 AM, under a mostly clear sky. A freeze: protect plants and pipes. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Wednesday, near 65°, and the coolest tomorrow, near 60°. Rain is likely Wednesday (50%). Rain is possible Tuesday (41%). The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 28°.
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 18 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
