August 18, 2016 Night

My truck is mostly packed for camping this weekend and the kayak is on the roof, the fluids are good, all gassed up and ready to go. I think it will be a nice weekend up in the Adirondacks, potentially my last week camping this summer. We will see. A lot depends on the weather and my schedule. 

Kind of muggy tonight with a temperature of 72 degrees and a dew point of 67. Nice big full moon tonight, the Sturgeon Moon. The Last Quarter Moon is next Thursday. The Full “Corn” Moon is on Friday, September 16th.

Tonight will have patchy fog after 2am. Otherwise, partly cloudy, with a low of 63 degrees at 5am. Three degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 67 at 10pm. Northwest wind around 5 mph. The record low of 43 occurred back in 1977. 

Tomorrow will have patchy fog before 9am. Otherwise, sunny, with a high of 87 degrees at 3pm. Seven degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 66 at 8am. August weather. North wind around 6 mph. The record high of 92 was set in 1899. The sun will rise at 6:06 am with the first light at 5:36 am, which is 1 minutes and 4 seconds later then yesterday.

Looking ahead, State Fair Opens in a 1 week, First Day of Autumn is in 5 weeks, Last Recorded Day Above in 90 in Albany is in 7 weeks, First Day with Average High Below 60 is in 9 weeks and Thanksgiving is in 14 weeks.
