June 2, 2017 Morning

Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! Next Friday is Strawberry Moon. Mostly sunny and 55 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. The dew point is 45 degrees. Not a half bad walk down to the Park and Ride. A pretty nice day with ample blue skies, but it’s not expected last. Nicer weather though for the weekend.

Today will have isolated showers after noon. Partly sunny, with a high of 67 degrees at 2pm. A fairly cool June day.Β Five degrees below normal. Maximum dew point of 46 at 9am. Breezy, with a light west wind increasing to 15 to 20 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had mostly cloudy skies and a high of 85 degrees. The record high of 94 was set in 1895.

The sun will set at 8:27 pm with dusk around 9:02 pm, which is 45 seconds later than yesterday. At sunset, look for partly cloudy conditions and 60 degrees. There will be a west-northwest breeze at 14 mph. Today will have 15 hours and 8 minutes of daytime, an increase of one minute and 10 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be partly cloudy, with a low of 48 degrees at 4am. Six degrees below normal. West wind 5 to 14 mph. In 2016, it got down to 63 degrees with rain and mostly cloudy skies. The record low of 36 occurred back in 1986.

As previously noted, next Friday is Strawberry Moon when the sun will be setting at 8:32 pm with dusk at 9:07 pm. On that day in 2016, we had partly cloudy skies and temperatures between 65 and 50 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 76 degrees. We hit a record high of 100 back in 1933.

Tomorrow getting the oil changed on my truck and having breakfast at my parents house,Β and then in the afternoon I will probably do something — but I’m exactly sure what. I have the clear coat to cover the minor rust spots I’ve noticed in the wheel well, in an effort to arrest that before it gets worse. I could go camping at a local state forest on Saturday night, but probably not, because I don’t want to deal with the rain on Sunday.

Next weekend I will probably go camping, possibly locally and go to the Gas Up in the day time. Or maybe I’ll save those plans for the following week and go to the Adirondacks. I’m just hoping for warmer, drier weather so the woods won’t be so muddy and the black flies not so bad.

I’m just hoping for some nice warm and sunny weekends to be coming up,Β now that summer is upon us. It will be nice to be getting back up to the Adirondacks and feeling the cool from the Potholers running down my back, for hours on end.
