Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Five weeks to Election Day 2017. Local elections this year, so not so many big campaigns. Sunny and 46 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. Pretty decent October morning.

Nice morning but a lot of delays heading downtown due to a crash on 787 and one on Southern Boulevard. It really slowed traffic heading into the city and made the bus a few minutes late at the Park and Ride. Still beats taking the local downtown.

Today will be sunny, with a high of 73 degrees at 3pm. Eight degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 49 at 1pm. Light south wind increasing to 5 to 9 mph in the morning. Fairly warm and nice this morning. A year ago, we had mostly cloudy skies, clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 72 degrees. The record high of 83 was set in 1967. There was a dusting of snow in 1974.

The sun will set at 6:32 pm with dusk around 7:00 pm, which is one minute and 44 seconds earlier than yesterday. At sunset, look for clear conditions and 68 degrees. The dew point will be 49 degrees. There will be a south breeze at 9 mph. Today will have 11 hours and 36 minutes of daytime, a decrease of 2 minutes and 52 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly clear, with a low of 45 degrees at 6am. One degree above normal. South wind 5 to 8 mph. In 2016, we had mostly cloudy skies. It got down to 53 degrees. The record low of 26 occurred back in 1948.
