July 1, 2016 Afternoon
Good afternoon! Mostly cloudy and 77 degrees in Indian Lake. Breezy, 16 mph breeze from the south. The dew point is 49 degrees.
This afternoon will have showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms could produce small hail and gusty winds. There is a Tornado Watch in effect, watch for severe thunderstorms. High near 77. Four degrees below normal. South wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. The record high of 99 was set in 1913.
Tonight the sun will set at 8:42 pm with dusk around 9:18 pm, which is 11 seconds earlier than yesterday. Tonight we have a Waning Crescent Moon with 20% illuminated. The moon will rise around 3:01 am and will set around 5:25 pm. July’s Buck Moon is on Tuesday, July 19th.
Tonight will have showers and thunderstorms before midnight, then a chance of showers. Low around 54. Six degrees below normal. West wind around 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. The record low of 40 occurred back in 1978.
Going to be cool but not nice this weekend at Moose River Plains. Saturday, partly sunny, with a high near 68. West wind 11 to 16 mph. Sunday, sunny, with a high near 72. West wind 8 to 14 mph. Typical average high for the weekend is 82 degrees, at least in Albany.
In four weeks on July 29 the sun will be setting at 8:22 pm, which is 19 minutes earlier then today. The average high is 82 degrees, and the record for that date is 97 degrees was set back in 1894.
I’m off to Moose River Plains now. I plan to head to Inlet tomorrow, so I’ll probably post another update then. But in the mean time, it should be fun camping, once the cold front comes through. Have a great day!
July 1, 2016 Morning
Good morning! Happy July as our Independence Weekend gets underway! Mostly sunny and 74 degrees in Delmar. The dew point is 59 degrees. Going to be a bit more humid today with thunderstorms but clearing out for the long weekend.
Today will have showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly after 2pm. Some of the storms could produce small hail and gusty winds. Increasing clouds, with a high near 79. Two degrees below normal. Light south wind increasing to 6 to 11 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. The record high of 99 was set in 1913.
Tonight the sun will set at 8:36 pm with dusk around 9:11 pm, which is 11 seconds earlier than yesterday. Today will have 15 hours and 14 minutes of daylight, a decrease of 44 seconds over yesterday. Days start to get shorter as July gets underway.
Tonight will have showers and thunderstorms likely before 1am, then a slight chance of showers between 1am and 2am. Cloudy, then gradually becoming partly cloudy, with a low around 60. Typical for tonight. South wind 6 to 9 mph becoming west after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. The record low of 40 occurred back in 1978.
On this day in 1963, ZIP codes are introduced for United States mail. If you get a zip code wrong, the best thing that can happen is you have a very scornful postal clerk, and the worst thing that can happen is your mail isn’t delivered. Always double check zip codes. Also in 1968, the UAW becomes a seperate entity from AFL-CIO over policy disputes. The UAW would rejoin the AFL-CIO 13 years later in 1981.
There are 1 month until First Day of August when the sun will be setting at 8:14 pm with dusk at 8:46 pm. Today being July 1st sure makes that shocking.
