Good evening! Mostly clear and 65 degrees in Delmar. There is a north breeze at 6 mph. The dew point is 59 degrees. Not a half bad evening for Labor Day. 

Had steak at my parent’s house for Labor Day. Enjoyed swimming at Mine Kill State Park and hiking the trails. A beautiful day, caught some great footage on my new dashboard camera. I will upload tomorrow to YouTube when I get somewhere I have enough bandwidth. I did the recommended firmware update on the camera and got several improved features including recording of your speed in miles per hour. Besides the pictures I took at camp, I’ve also started to do some videos and will post some time in the next few days. 

Tonight will be mostly clear, with a low of 59 degrees at 5am. Four degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 59 at 11pm. North wind around 6 mph. The record low of 38 occurred back in 1938. Waxing Crescent Moon tonight with 30% illuminated. The moon will set around 11:52 pm. The First Quarter Moon is on Friday at 11:49 am with chance of t-storms expected. The Full “Corn” Moon is on Friday, September 16th at 7:05 pm.

Tomorrow will be mostly sunny, and a bit warm with a high of 80 degrees at 3pm. Four degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 64 at 5pm. North wind 7 to 9 mph. The record high of 91 was set in 1983. The sun will rise at 6:26 am with the first light at 5:58 am, which is 1 minutes and 4 seconds later then yesterday.

Looking ahead, Columbus Day is in 5 weeks, Halloween is in 8 weeks, Last Day with 10 Hours of Daylight in Albany is in 9 weeks and Beaver Moon is in 10 weeks.
