Good evening! Rain and 73 degrees in North Syracuse. Rain is good. My truck is covered in dust and mud, and we are in a drought. There is a south breeze at 11 mph. The dew point is 64 degrees. The skies will clear Monday around 10 am. The rain held off for a while except for a brief shower but it was quite dreary out for most of the afternoon. 

While the morning was quite nice, the afternoon was so humid and damp that you never knew when the next downpour would occur. Thought about visiting the Syracuse Gun Show but that didn’t happen because the admission price was $7 and it was the other side of town at the fairgrounds. I still kind of want to buy the 30-06, I’ve been thinking about getting, and I’m thinking I could get a better quality deer rifle for less money used. But I was lazy. Maybe I should have just gotten that Remington 783 I looked at in August on sale but was sacred off by some of the reviews. Otherwise, generally a pretty quite Saturday, spent some time tweaking some code on the blog. Hoping to do some hiking and fishing tomorrow but only if the weather is decent.  

Also been thinking about my next big road trip to West Virginia and Virginia. This will be later in the year than last one, mostly due to my schedule. But still the Blue Ridge Parkway will be beautiful. Or maybe I’ll instead focus on Western New York and Pennsylvania. I guess it depends on my mood. 

Tonight will have showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 1am. Warm and rainy night  with a low of 67 degrees at 6am. Maximum dew point of 66 at 2am. South wind 10 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible. 

Tomorrow will have showers likely, with thunderstorms also possible after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high of 79 degrees at 2pm. Maximum dew point of 67 at 9am. Southwest wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. 

The sun will rise at 6:47 am with the first light at 6:19 am, which is 1 minutes and 6 seconds later then yesterday.

Looking ahead, First Day with Average High Below 70 is in 1 week, October 1st is in 2 weeks, Make a Difference Day is in 5 weeks and New Years Eve is in 15 weeks.
