Good morning! Mostly cloudy and 49 degrees in Delmar, NY. Breezy, 16 mph breeze from the south-southeast. The skies will clear Monday around 5 am.

Today will have showers likely, mainly after 4pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high of 56 degrees at 3pm. Four degrees below normal. Breezy, with a south wind 16 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had rain and a high of 65 degrees. The record high of 92 was set in 1976. 8.8 inches of snow fell back in 1983.

Just kind of hanging out and relaxing this morning. I had a nice breakfast and a little later on I will probably go out fishing. That wind is making kinda cold but at least we have some sun peaking out to the south. Might stop down at the library and decide which 12 volt fan to order so I have it to keep cool in my truck cap. I do need to get some night crawlers and get to the store today for shopping. I’m low on food because I was planning on going shopping before camping. Pine Bush Dinner is tonight. 

The sun will set at 7:42 pm with dusk around 8:12 pm, which is one minute and 8 seconds later than yesterday. Today will have 13 hours and 37 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 42 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will have showers likely, mainly before midnight. Cloudy, with a low of 46 degrees at 4am. Seven degrees above normal. South wind 11 to 16 mph decreasing to 5 to 10 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. In 2016, it got down to 42 degrees under mostly clear skies. The record low of 19 occurred back in 1875.

I am thinking about heading out camping on Friday morning, based on the latest forecast. I don’t expect a ton of sun this weekend but I haven’t been out in a long time. After Thursday into Friday, not expecting a big washout. Next weekend looks quite nice but I might consider going camping somewhere else like Schoharie County that weekend. 

Looking ahead, there are 4 weeks until Pack Rat Day when the sun will be setting at 8:13 pm with dusk at 8:46 pm. On that day in 2016, we had mostly cloudy skies and temperatures between 66 and 40 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 70 degrees. We hit a record high of 89 back in 1977.
