Good morning! What day is it? Hump Day, of course. Currently 33 degrees with light rain and fog with a 3 mph north-northwest wind. The wind chill value is currently 30. Not a super nice day but it’s not impacting people’s commutes much in the Albany area. The weekend still looks quite nice.

Today there will be periods of light rain before 10am, then periods of rain after 10am. Patchy fog after 3pm. High near 41. Not bad for mid to late February. Northeast wind around 6 mph becoming calm in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. Tonight the sun will set at 5:38 pm with darkness around 6:07 pm, which is 1 minutes and 15 seconds later than yesterday. Today will have exactly 11 hours of daylight, an increase of 2 minutes and 48 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight look for rain and possibly a thunderstorm. Temperature rising to around 48 by 1am. South wind 6 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.

There are 1 month, 6 days until April Fools Day when the sun will be setting at 7:22 pm (Daylight Savings Time). Less than three weeks until we set the clocks forward.

Busy day on tap for work today. I wanted to get an early start but with the weather and studying an email, that didn’t quite happen.

Looking at heading up to the Adirondacks this weekend for camping, hiking and maybe some shooting after my sister’s baby shower. I haven’t spent a weekend in the wilderness in over a month now. I don’t think there is much snow up north and it’s going to be a nice warm weekend for February to boot. Lots of sun expected too.
