Good evening! Rain and 49 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a east-southeast breeze at 9 mph. The skies will clear tomorrow around noontime.

Catching the 5:55 pm bus home, so I should be able to catch the PBS Newshour when I get home. Looks like it’s going to poor this evening, so I probably won’t walk down to the library but I could still change my mind. I always like the walk. 

The sun will set at 7:25 pm with dusk around 7:53 pm, which is one minute and 8 seconds later than yesterday. At sunset, look for light rain and conditions and 49 degrees. There will be a east-southeast breeze at 8 mph.

Typically, you have temperatures between 65 and 43 degrees. The record high of 88 degrees was set back in 2001.

Not a terrible day at work but I was fairly busy so time went by quickly. Tomorrow will be a long day but I will be glad once the whole budget ordeal is over and I can get home every day from work early enough to go down to the park. 

Looking ahead, Tax Day is in 2 weeks, Average High is 70 is in 6 weeks, Independence Day is in 2 months, Election Day 2018 is in 83 weeks and Election Day 2020 is in 187 weeks.
