August 6, 2016 Evening

|

Good evening! Partly sunny and 81 degrees in North Blenheim. There is a west-northwest breeze at 13 mph. The dew point is 64 degrees.

Tonight will be mostly clear, with a low of 59 degrees at 5am. Two degrees below normal. Northwest wind 5 to 11 mph. Maximum dew point of 63 at 6pm. The record low of 46 occurred back in 1994. The sun will set at 8:10 pm with dusk around 8:41 pm, which is 1 minutes and 17 seconds earlier than yesterday. Waxing Crescent Moon tonight with 30% illuminated. The moon will set around 11:59 pm. The First Quarter Moon is on Wednesday with mostly cloudy skies expected. The Full “Strugeon” Moon is on Thursday, August 18th.

Tomorrow will have a slight chance of showers between 10am and noon. Mostly sunny, with a high of 78 degrees at 3pm. Four degrees below normal. Northwest wind 5 to 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. Maximum dew point of 59 at 8am. The record high of 102 was set in 1918.

In four weeks on September 3 the sun will be setting at 7:27 pm, which is 43 minutes earlier then today. The average high is 77 degrees, and the record for that date is 100 degrees was set back in 1953.

I tell you, going from the Watkins Glen State Park Pool to the Mine Kill pool is an enormous step down. The pool is so much smaller and shallow. But at least three cloud has passed by the sun and there is a nice breeze. The sun is still quite warm. 

As we head into the six o’clock hour, the cloudy morning is but a memory. The skies are blue especially with the polarizing sunglasses. A definitely nice afternoon. Nice evening with the dew point rapidly dropping. 

Next I’m going to head to camp and cook some dinner. Probably skip fishing this evening but maybe tomorrow morning. If I had camp already set up my plans might be different.

Good morning! Happy Saturday. Mostly cloudy and 77 degrees in Delmar. There is a west-southwest breeze at 7 mph. The dew point is 70 degrees. The skies will clear around noontime. After they do it should be a nice day, but right now it’s pretty darn humid. I was dripping as I cleaned my apartment and packed my truck for camping. Off to Mine Kill State Park to swim this afternoon and truck cap camp at Burnt-Rossman State Forest this evening. Fishing in the evening at Mine Kill Reservoir and then back swimming in the morning, stopping to get some goodies at the farm market.

But first I need to finish this blog post, pick up a few groceries and propane, and possibly go to the bank. But I should be to Mine Kill by 1 or 1:30 and will be able to enjoy the pool until around 6 PM. I look forward to doing more work on my tan, because I apparently did not get enough sun last week on vacation. Gosh, life is tough.

Today will have a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly sunny, with a high of 84 degrees at 2pm. Two degrees above normal. West wind 7 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
