Good evening! Clear and 69 degrees at the Mason Lake. ✨ Calm wind. The dew point is 61 degrees. Last night at this campsite at Mason Lake as it’s already been three nights here.

While I definitely got some good beach time in today 🏊 it’s been quite busy with work, having spent more than half of the day working and that doesn’t include the unbilled time this evening sending emails to clients 📧 for sign off. But it’s been nice.

Set up the hammock tonight and the colored lights at camp 🔥 and had a small fire for a while. But it’s pretty dry. I was going to go fishing 🎣 this evening at Mason Lake but there was some thunder ⚡ and lots of little work things to do.

Tonight will have isolated showers and thunderstorms before 11pm. Patchy fog after 4am. Otherwise, partly cloudy , with a low of 60 degrees at 5am. Two degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around June 27th. Maximum dew point of 62 at 11pm. Calm wind. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became partly cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It was somewhat humid. It got down to 59 degrees. The record low of 41 occurred back in 1970.

Tonight will have a New 🌚 Moon. The Buck 🦌 Moon is on Saturday, July 4. The darkest hour is at 1:00 am, followed by dawn at 4:41 am, and sun starting to rise at 5:17 am in the northeast (56°) and last for 3 minutes and 32 seconds. Sunrise is 11 seconds later than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 6:01 am with sun in the east-northeast (63°). Tonight will have 8 hours and 34 minutes of darkness, a decrease of over last night.

Tomorrow will have a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2pm. Patchy fog before 8am. Otherwise, mostly sunny ☀, with a high of 82 degrees at 3pm. Three degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around July 2nd. Maximum dew point of 63 at 9am. Calm wind becoming south 5 to 8 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning, which became mostly sunny by afternoon. It became very sticky as the day progressed. The high last year was 78 degrees. The record high of 97 was set in 1938.

Tomorrow I want to take down camp relatively early and get out on Mason Lake to do some fishing 🎣 and then maybe Lewey Lake. I will also need to get ice. Then assuming that I can get the campsite I want with the good cellphone reception 📶 I’ll set up there for the next three nights. Then on Wednesday night I might go up to Horseshoe Lake although not set in stone. I remember having good reception up there years ago.

In four weeks on July 18 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (300°) at 8:34 pm,🌄 which is 8 minutes and 6 seconds earlier then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had humid, mostly cloudy, mist and temperatures between 80 and 70 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 83 and 62 degrees. The record high of 100 degrees was set back in 1953.

Looking ahead, Inauguration Day 2021 👴🏻 is in 7 months.
