October’s first night is just as lovely as its first day. We have clear skies and comfortable conditions. Professional and would be astronomers will be astounded at the sight of Jupiter and Saturn in the southern sky without the aid of a telescope. Families may be inspired to get viewing devices from the attic or basement to view Neptune and Uranus in the southeastern sky after sundown.

It’s a milder start, with temperatures early this Tuesday morning in the low to mid 30s (0 to 2 degrees Celsius). Highs will reach the low 40s (5 degrees Celsius), but it’ll be noticeably breezy with a west wind at 10 to 20 mph. Lows in the low 30s (-1 to 0 degrees Celsius), which is near freezing so watch out for icy patches first thing Wednesday morning. Mostly clear Thursday night, with lows near 20 degrees (-7 degrees Celsius). Highs in the low 40s (5 degrees Celsius).
