Good evening! Clear and 59 degrees in North Syracuse. Calm wind. The dew point is 52 degrees. Not a half bad night after a few very long, rather tiresome days at work. We had some great weather today, but between sneaking in a few hours of sleep, it was a pretty crazy day or so. But Friday should be relatively calm at work, and then tomorrow is Saturday. But I think it’s going to cloud up and possibly rain this week with the remnants of Hurricane Matthews pushing north. But at least we aren’t expected to get that horrific hurricane up north here, and especially in the Adirondacks, it should be quite good for leaf peeping.

After dropping my phone on the sidewalk many times before, I finally smashed the screen again. But that’s fine, it was only a $40 phone and I actually have a replacement in my truck. I’ve been thinking about upgrading the phone eventually and when I destroy my backup phone, that is probably what I’ll end up doing. This phone though, has held up quite well.

Doing some wash again tonight. At least now with the water turned onto the washing machine, all has been working a lot better. Still going to be a real mild night tonight, with clear skies, not bad for enjoying the stars. But I’m dead tired and will be going to bed shortly.

Tonight will be clear, with a low of 50 degrees at 6am. Seven degrees above normal. Light east wind. The record low of 27 occurred back in 1986. Waxing Crescent Moon tonight with 38% illuminated. The moon will set around 12:41 am. The First Quarter Moon is on Sunday at 4:33 am with partly cloudy expected. The Full “Hunter” Moon is on Sunday, October 16th at 4:23 am.

Tomorrow will be sunny, with a high of 78 degrees at 3pm. 15 degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 53 at 11am. South wind around 6 mph. The record high of 89 was set in 1963. The sun will rise at 7:09 am with the first light at 6:40 am, which is 1 minutes and 10 seconds later then yesterday.

Looking ahead, Friday the 13th is in 1 weeks, Daylight Savings Time Ends and Last Day with 10 Hours of Daylight is in 1 months and Thanksgiving is in 7 weeks.

Good afternoon! Mostly sunny and 74 degrees in North Syracuse. Calm wind. The dew point is 52 degrees. Not a bad day, although nothing like that day in 1900 when it reached 90 degrees. That’s the latest it’s ever been recorded with a temperature above 90 through the end of the year. That said, we won’t be nearly that warm today.

Tonight will be mostly clear, with a low of 50 degrees at 6am. Seven degrees above normal. Southeast wind 3 to 5 mph. The record low of 27 occurred back in 1986.

Today in 1973, Egypt launches a coordinated attack with Syria against Israel leading to the Yom Kippur War. In response to the US backing Isreal, OPEC limits supply of oil to the United States and allies, leading to gas lines and massive increases in the price of oil.

There is 1 week until Friday the 13th when the sun will be setting at 6:23 pm with dusk at 6:52 pm. The average high temperature is 61 degrees, with a record high of 81 in 1930.
