Good morning! Happy Grilled Cheese Day 🧀! Tonight actually might be a good night for Grilled Cheese and Soup. Next Friday is Good Friday ✝️. Cloudy and 45 degrees at the Elm Ave Park & Ride – CDTA. ☁ There is a south-southeast breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The skies will clear tomorrow around 11 am.

Not a half bad walk 🚶 down to the park and ride. Cloudy but mild. Things are starting to green a bit on medians 🌾 but it’s not summer yet. Some years spring has sprung at this point in the city but not this year. But with freezing temperatures becoming increasingly rare in the city its certain to happen at some point soon.

Taking a hybrid bus downtown today, which is nice because they have nice smooth stops 🚦 at the red lights along the Delmar bypass. Hybrids have a very good braking via magnetic force.

Today will have a chance of showers, mainly after 5pm. Mostly cloudy 🌦, with a high of 55 degrees at 3pm. Two degrees below normal, which is similiar to a typical day around April 9th. Maximum dew point of 47 at 6pm. South wind 6 to 11 mph increasing to 13 to 18 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 29 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had mostly sunny in the morning, which became light rain by afternoon. The high last year was 54 degrees. The record high of 84 was set in 1977. 3.3 inches of snow fell back in 1962.❄

I didn’t wear my rain jacket, so I’m certain it will rain. ☔ Just hopefully not while I’m waiting for the bus in the evening. I prefer more sunshine today but at least tomorrow is supposed to be quite nice.

The sun will set at 7:34 pm with dusk around 8:03 pm, which is one minute and 9 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for a chance at rain showers 🌧 and temperatures around 55 degrees. The dew point will be 47 degrees. Breezy, 16 mph breeze ⛅ from the south. Today will have 13 hours and 16 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 48 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will have showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 4am, then showers likely. 🌧 Low of 53 degrees at 1am. 16 degrees above normal, which is similiar to a typical night around June 2nd. Maximum dew point of 52 at 4am. 🏖️ South wind 9 to 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. In 2018, we had light rain in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 40 degrees. The record low of 19 occurred back in 1874.

I got to run to the bank today 🏦 so I can get $1 bills for the transfer station and barber 💈 shop as I probably should try to squeeze in a hair cut tomorrow. Going to be a busy Saturday but nice weather at least.

As previously noted, next Friday is Good Friday ✝️ when the sun will be setting at 7:42 pm with dusk at 8:11 pm. On that day in 2018, we had cold weather but partly cloudy, rain showers and temperatures between 44 and 34 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 60 degrees. We hit a record high of 92 back in 1976.

I still don’t know if I’m heading out of town next weekend. 😎Forecast doesn’t look that great, I might wait another week until more of the snow and ice is gone up north. I have the time to take off to make the following weekend a three day weekend if necessary. ⛺
