Alert. A Freeze Watch is in force for Jackson until 9 AM Saturday. Read the alert in full, and see what it means in the Field Book.
Now. Jackson is 56° and overcast at 11 PM. The dew point is 54°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Light breeze from the west-northwest at 4 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 46° by 6 AM, under cloud. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Wednesday, near 68°, and the coolest tomorrow, near 52°. Rain is likely tomorrow (58%). The windiest day is tomorrow, with wind to 20 mph. The first freeze could come Saturday, a low of 30°.
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 5 minutes long, 3 minutes shorter than yesterday.
As of 11:00 PM in Jackson, Wisconsin.
