Now up to 65 degrees on this beautiful Monday. There is a northwest breeze at 15 mph. The dew point is 57 degrees and continuing to drop. Looks like we have a beautiful day on tap followed by a beautiful week and weekend. 

I’m not crazy about having to go to work today but you got to make money. The weekend looks great. I’m leaning towards old Betty Brook and Mine Kill Pool for the weekend. Not so far and if I get stuck at work late on Friday, it’s not a big deal. I like to think of work week as the intermission between the weekend. 

Gas prices are up a few pennies this morning but may drop again with today’s drop in crude oil prices. The summer driving season is rapidly coming to an end. I know we have two weeks left until Labor Day, the unofficial end of summer. 

I fully expect some color on the maples along Muskrat Pond and Indian Lake at Moose River Plains by then, especially with today’s cooler temperatures. We have less than one month until autumn officially starts, and usually peak color at the Moose is the fourth week of September.

Good morning! Pleasant, low humidity, relatively cool and fairly sunny start to our Monday. Sunny and 59 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a northwest breeze at 11 mph. The dew point is 58 degrees and will drop throughout the day.

Today will be sunny, with a high of 75 degrees at 3pm. Five degrees below normal. Maximum dew point of 58 at 7am. The dew point will drop to around 50 by evening. Breezy, with a northwest wind 11 to 21 mph, with gusts as high as 37 mph.  The record high of 93 was set in 1916.

A very nice day on tap. Autumn is on its way. Just a preview today then warming up somewhat for the second half of the week. The weekend looks nice.
