Sunny Skies, Molé Crawl and Marina Hotel Plans

Today is Feb. 8. It is the 39th day of the year. We are under a waxing crescent moon. Sunset will occur about 5:32 p.m. Here are five things to know:

1. The National Weather Service forecast for today calls for a high temperature of 63 degrees this afternoon with wind gusts as high as 20 mph. It should be clear tonight with a low around 45 degrees. A wind advisory also will go into effect from 3 a.m. Wednesday until 3 p.m. the same day with winds of 35 mph or greater expected. Be careful driving.
