June 13, 2016 9 AM Update
Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. Currently partly cloudy and 59 degrees in Delmar. There is a west-northwest breeze at 14 mph.
Partly sunny and cool for today. Looking for a high near 70. Northwest wind 15 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. The normal high for today is 77, so it will be a bit cool for this time of year. The record high of 94 happened back in 1892.
Cool but a sunny start to the week. Warmer weather for Tuesday and Wednesday but then rain for Thursday and Friday. Nicer weather for the weekend. I’m looking forward to going to the Gas Up in Gallupville with dad this weekend.
Tonight the sun will set at 8:34 pm with dusk around 9:09 pm, which is 27 seconds later than yesterday. Today will have 15 hours and 17 minutes of daylight, an increase of 29 seconds over yesterday.
Partly cloudy and a bit cool tonight. We will have a low around 51. Northwest wind 8 to 13 mph. The normal low for tonight is 56, so it will be fairly cool for this time of year. The record low of 39 occured back in 1970.
On this day in 1966, the United States Supreme Court rules in Miranda v. Arizona that the police must inform suspects of their rights before questioning them. Also in 1970, “The Long and Winding Road” becomes The Beatles’ last U.S. number one song. And in 1977, Convicted Martin Luther King Jr. assassin James Earl Ray is recaptured after escaping from prison three days before.
There are 1 weeks until the First Day of Summer when the sun will be setting at 8:36 pm with dusk at 9:11 pm. The average high temperature is 79 degrees, with a record high of 97 in 1953. We are almost there this year.
I wish we had better weather this past weekend, but so be it. There is still a lot of summer left to enjoy. I’m sure that there will be 90 degree, sunny weekends left to enjoy at the Potholers and state park pools. Next week most of state parks open for swimming.
I’m looking at heading up to Moose River Plains for Independence Day Weekend. Probably leave Thursday night or maybe early Friday. Depends on the work schedule. Also want to head to the Finger Lakes in mid July, so I can get my tan on at the Watkins Glen pool.
