As we head into the 9 o’clock hour, we are partly  cloudy and 67 degrees in Delmar. Calm wind. The dew point is 65 degrees. The muggy weather ends Sunday around 11 am.

Today will have a slight chance of showers between 10am and noon, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon. Some of the storms could produce gusty winds. Partly sunny, with a high of 87 degrees at 2pm. 12 degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 73 at 6pm. Light south wind increasing to 5 to 10 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. The record high of 94 was set in 2015. The sun will set at 7:16 pm with dusk around 7:44 pm, which is 1 minutes and 45 seconds earlier than yesterday. Today will have 12 hours and 46 minutes of daylight, a decrease of 2 minutes and 49 seconds over yesterday.

Drove down to the express bus stop, because I was running late didn’t feel like taking the local downtown. It really isn’t that far from home but I do get tired of taking the local to work.

A fairly nice morning but warm. Then again, springs and autumns simply aren’t as cold as they once were. Anybody who can read the weather records can see the slow  but steady rise in average temperatures in the Albany area. Very warm tonight – it may break the record for the highest low temperature recorded tonight. Uncomfortable sleeping for sure. 

Tonight will have showers and thunderstorms likely before 2am, then a slight chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low of 71 degrees at 4am. 17 degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 73 at 6pm. Southwest wind around 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. The record low of 36 occurred back in 1938.

There are 3 weeks until First Day of Sunset Before 7 PM in Albany when the sun will be setting at 7:51 pm with dusk at 8:21 pm. The average high temperature is 80 degrees, with a record high of 95 in 1913.
