Good evening! Currently clear and 66 degrees in Delmar. The spring peepers are relatively quiet tonight and a fairly sparse population of fireflies. The recently cut hay field at the farm down the road. The dew point has creeped up a bit with the coming rain but still is a comfortable 53.

Decided to head inside and retire to bed, while I watch the PBS Newshour that I taped earlier in the evening. I have to hear about the day’s follies of Donald Trump. I don’t really like Hillary but she isn’t likely to be as destructive as her GOP opponent. I guess the .22 ammo shortage will last four more years. Or maybe more ammunition manufacturers will open up in response to hoarders who fear yet another nutty president.

Partly cloudy then chance of showers and warm for tonight. We will have a chance of showers, mainly after 4am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 62. South wind 3 to 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. The normal low for tonight is 54, so it will be about eight degrees above normal. The record low of 37 occured back in 1958.

Tomorrow the sun will rise at 5:17 am with the first light at 4:43 am, which is 14 seconds earlier then today. Sunrise comes pretty early this time of year. It’s really kind of obnoxious how early it is.

Chance of showers then chance of t-storms but otherwise seasonable for Tuesday. We will have a chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after noon. Some of the storms could produce small hail and gusty winds. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 78. Southwest wind 7 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. The normal high for Tuesday is 76, so it will be about normal for this time of year. The record high of 95 happened back in 1999.

Looking ahead, First Day of Summer is in 2 weeks, Independence Day is in 4 weeks, First Day of August is in 8 weeks, Labor Day is in 13 weeks, Columbus Day is in 18 weeks and Halloween is in 21 weeks.

I hope you had a good day. Sleep well.
