Coming up. Tomorrow is 19 degrees warmer: a high of 82° after 63° today.

The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 82°, and the coolest Saturday, near 54°. Rain is likely tomorrow (80%). Rain is possible Saturday (44%). Frost is possible Sunday morning, a low of 36°.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 26% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Monday, Oct 26. Look for Saturn, bright in the south-southeast.

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.
