Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Two weeks to September 🍎. Partly sunny and 62 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. The dew point is 59 degrees. A rather nice autumn feeling like morning. Really it won’t be long before most days are much cooler with September around the corner. 🍂

Last night I was so tired 😴 I fell asleep watching a YouTube video 📹 of Mike Pence’s dairy 🐄 in the Southern Tier while I was working on my phone. I think 🤔 I’m still recovering from vacation, I’m just so exhausted a lot of the time ever since getting back. I know it’s probably Coronavirus. 👾I should have locked myself away so I could stay healthy. It’s more like my sleep schedule is messed up after vacation I bet.

Busy day today at work, 📝 I need to finish that report I’m writing and then I have two meetings, 👥 one of them is a Zoom meeting 📹 so I have to shave and get cleaned up for it.👔

Today will have a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2pm. Mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 79 degrees at 4pm. One degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around August 24th. Maximum dew point of 61 at 9am. Light southwest wind becoming west 6 to 11 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. It became very sticky as the day progressed. The high last year was 87 degrees. The record high of 95 was set in 1913.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 1:00 pm with sun having an altitude of 60.3° from the due south horizon (-10.5° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 3.4 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:15 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (282°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-northwest (289°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 7:54 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 3 seconds with dusk around 8:22 pm, which is one minute and 32 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 9:00 pm. At sunset, look for mostly clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 73 degrees. The dew point will be 58 degrees. There will be a west-northwest breeze at 9 mph. Today will have 13 hours and 46 minutes of daytime, a decrease of 2 minutes and 36 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 55 degrees at 4am. Five degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around September 6th. Maximum dew point of 58 at 6pm. Northwest wind 5 to 7 mph becoming calm in the evening. In 2019, we had thunderstorm in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It was sticky. It got down to 69 degrees. The record low of 43 occurred back in 1977.

In 1929, the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution is ratified, guaranteeing women’s suffrage.👱🏻‍♀️I don’t think Donald Trump is a fan of that amendment. Next year it will ninety years ago. The first president that all women 🚺 could vote ❎ for was Franklin Roosevelt. He would cut a ribbon 🎗 nine years later in Northern New York.

And nine years later in 1938, the Thousand Islands Bridge, connecting New York, United States with Ontario, Canada over the Saint Lawrence River via Wellesley Island, is dedicated by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. 🌉 It remains the primary crossing of St. Lawerence River, where Interstate 81 drops down to two undivided lanes. It’s narrow but continues to serve it’s purpose. I’m sure at some point in the future it will be replaced with a modern interstate bridge.

Going to be a nice, hot summer weekend. 🏊 Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 87. Maximum dew point of 63 at 10am. Sunday, scattered showers and thunderstorms. Partly sunny, with a high near 86. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Maximum dew point of 65 at 10am. Typical average high for the weekend is 80 degrees.

I am thinking if heading out to Schoharie County for the weekend. ⛺ It should be a nice hot weekend, good weather for enjoying the Mine Kill Pool, 🏊🏻‍♂️ getting some good food at farm markets 🌽 and maybe some fishing 🎣. Probably next weekend it will rain ☔ and then it’s Labor Day Weekend 👒 How fast time comes and goes.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until September 🍎 when the sun will be setting at 7:29 pm with dusk at 7:58 pm. On that day in 2019, we had partly sunny, rain showers and temperatures between 75 and 51 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 77 degrees. We hit a record high of 96 back in 1953.
