Good evening! It’s a pleasant evening for getting packed for get away day tomorrow. It’s the Big Memorial Day Weekend. Clear and 65 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌃 There is a west-southwest breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 48 degrees. Nice evening.

In 2017, we had partly cloudy skies with more clouds in the early hours of the next day. It got down to 54 degrees. The record low of 30 occurred back in 1956.

Getting packed and ready for the long weekend. I ended up deciding on going to Vermont as I didn’t want to fight traffic on the Thruway tomorrow and I think the forecast has improved somewhat. β›ΊSaturday will be gorgeous. Sunday and Memorial Day will be partly to mostly cloudy but not a lot of rain is expected. I wanted to go back to Wells in the Adirondacks to fish below the Lake Algonquin dam and maybe hike to Wilcox Lake but that can be a different weekend trip🎣 when I know I have a better chance of getting that campsite on Pumpkin Hollow Road 🎃 that I like.

Tonight will have a Waxing Gibbous Moon 🌔 with 81% illuminated. The moon will set at 3:36 am. The Flower Moon 🌕 is on Monday night with partly cloudy skies. The sun will rise at 5:24 am with the first light at 4:51 am, which is 44 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 Tonight will have 9 hours and 3 minutes of darkness, a decrease of one minute and 37 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be sunny 🌞 , with a high of 86 degrees at 3pm. 14 degrees above normal. Sun and warm but not too humid. Going to park in the shade and cover the coolers to make sure that they along with the propane remain cold. Maximum dew point of 53 at 9am. Southwest wind 8 to 13 mph. A year ago, we had mostly cloudy skies. The high last year was 62 degrees. The record high of 94 was set in 1981.

Right now, a split verdict on the weekend. πŸ˜• Saturday, a slight chance of showers between noon and 2pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2pm. Mostly sunny, with a high near 87.
