UPDATE FOR US NWS LAKE CHARLES SLACK CHANNEL 10.21.26

NWS – Lake Charles – Chanelle Stigger  [6:00 AM]

Albeit it a touch warmer, conditions will be drier. This will help to clear skies just in time for the peak of the Orionid meteor shower early tomorrow morning, so ready your telescopes!:comet::telescope:

With the moon expected to be around 80 to 90% illuminated, the best viewing hours will be just before sunrise, generally between 4 AM and sunrise, when the moon is below the horizon.
