Good morning! Happy Sunday. Next week is Palm Sunday. Partly cloudy and 43 degrees in Delmar. Rapidly clearing. There is a west-northwest breeze at 7 mph. That breeze is making current wind chill is 33 but that won’t last. 

Today will become sunny, with a high of 57 degrees at 4pm. Three degrees above normal. Northwest wind 7 to 13 mph. Once the sun comes out it should be a nice day. A year ago, we had mostly cloudy skies and a high of 53 degrees. The record high of 77 was set in 2010. 8 inches of snow fell back in 1924.

The sun will set at 7:23 pm with dusk around 7:51 pm, which is one minute and 8 seconds later than yesterday. Today will have 12 hours and 49 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 51 seconds over yesterday. 

Maybe next week I can go to the park after work, assuming it’s not raining. It’s going to be very wet next week, with one to inches of rain expected by the end of the week. That should aggressively tackle the mountain snows and create lots of mud and flooding. Probably ridiculously high stream flows for trout fishing but he’ll next weekend I’ll give it a shot. 

Tonight will be partly cloudy, with a low of 33 degrees at 4am. Two degrees below normal. Northwest wind 5 to 9 mph becoming calm after midnight. In 2016, it got down to 24 degrees with periods of snow. The record low of 16 occurred back in 1954.

This morning after breakfast, I think I’m going to go for a stroll at Five Rivers Environmental Education Center because I don’t want to deal with the snow slop at Thatcher Park. I also am on call for work so I expect sometime later to go in. I don’t have my fishing license yet and it’s going to be too bright for good fishing. Some point today I may also run into the city to buy wire so I can figure out the size hole I need to drill through the grommet to run the new wire to the truck cap. 

As previously noted, next Sunday is Palm Sunday when the sun will be setting at 7:31 pm with dusk at 8:00 pm. On that day in 2016, we had mostly cloudy skies and temperatures between 46 and 27 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 55 degrees. We hit a record high of 77 back in 1991.
