Good morning! Today is a Friday and also the last day of September Where did that month go so darn quickly? Cloudy, damp, and a few showers on and off and 56 degrees in North Syracuse. There is a east breeze at 9 mph. The dew point is 44 degrees. We are in a for a long period of cloudy skies that will last most of weekend, but I’m not expecting a real washout. The skies will clear Tuesday around 4 pm.

Went for a nice little walk in the undeveloped part of Green Lakes State Park, up on the hills, where there are several sweeping views of the valleys below. Got stuck in a traffic jam going down there, so it cut into my time for hiking before work, but I still got some nice pictures. The rain for the most part held off, but I do want to explore the area further in the coming weeks.

Today will have a chance of showers. Cloudy, with a high of 60 degrees at 2pm. Six degrees below normal. Maximum dew point of 45 at 2pm. East wind around 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. The record high of 88 was set in 1905. The sun will set at 6:45 pm with dusk around 7:14 pm, which is 1 minutes and 47 seconds earlier than yesterday. Today will have 11 hours and 43 minutes of daylight, a decrease of 2 minutes and 55 seconds over yesterday.

The Full “Harvest” Moon is on Sunday, October 16th at 4:23 am.

Heading to bed early tonight, as I want to start getting up earlier before work so I have more time to walk, as with the earlier sunset, I don’t have much time for getting out for a walk in the evening. Mid-day during lunch time, I do try to take a stroll down Main Street in North Syracuse, which always is a pretty nice walk. Even though I’m not expecting much sun tomorrow, if the weather is nice, I think I will try hiking along the Erie Canalway for a bit. I am going to try to be up at 6:30 starting tomorrow and we will see how that goes heading forward. Early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

Tomorrow will have a chance of showers, mainly after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high of 63 degrees at 2pm. Three degrees below normal. Maximum dew point of 47 at 4pm. East wind around 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. The record high of 88 was set in 1905. The sun will rise at 7:01 am with the first light at 6:32 am, which is 1 minutes and 8 seconds later then yesterday.

Looking ahead, First Day with Average High Below 60 is in 3 weeks, Thanksgiving is in 8 weeks and Square Dance Day is in 2 months.

The next few days through the weekend will be cloudy with a chance of showers through the weekend, with clearing expected on Tuesday. October tends to one of the more cloudy and rainy months of the year in Upstate New York.
