Good afternoon! Mostly cloudy and 77 degrees in Indian Lake. Breezy, 16 mph breeze from the south. The dew point is 49 degrees.

This afternoon will have showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms could produce small hail and gusty winds. There is a Tornado Watch in effect, watch for severe thunderstorms.   High near 77. Four degrees below normal. South wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. The record high of 99 was set in 1913.

Going to be cool but not nice this weekend at Moose River Plains. Saturday, partly sunny, with a high near 68. West wind 11 to 16 mph. Sunday, sunny, with a high near 72. West wind 8 to 14 mph. Typical average high for the weekend is 82 degrees, at least in Albany.

In four weeks on July 29 the sun will be setting at 8:22 pm, which is 19 minutes earlier then today. The average high is 82 degrees, and the record for that date is 97 degrees was set back in 1894.

I’m off to Moose River Plains now. I plan to head to Inlet tomorrow, so I’ll probably post another update then. But in the mean time, it should be fun camping, once the cold front comes through. Have a great day!
