Good evening! Currently partly cloudy and 63 degrees in Delmar. There is a west breeze at 14 mph. The dew point is a comfortable 51. It’s nice how long the nights are. By the time I got home at 9:30, there was still some daylight left. Nautical twilight when it’s dark enough to see the stars well and really dark didn’t conclude until 9:50.

Tonight will be partly cloudy, with a low around 54. West wind 9 to 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. The normal low for tonight is 54, so it will be about normal for this time of year. The record low of 38 occured back in 1951.

Tonight we have a Waxing Crescent Moon with 20% illuminated. The moon will rise around 7:07 am and will set around 11:24 pm. June’s Strawberry Moon is on Monday, June 20th.

Tomorrow the sun will rise at 5:17 am with the first light at 4:42 am, which is 12 seconds earlier then today.

Chance of t-storms and cool for Wednesday. We will have a chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 11am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 64. West wind 8 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. The normal high for Wednesday is 76, so it will be below normal for this time of year. The record high of 93 happened back in 2011.

Looking ahead, Flag Day is in 1 weeks, Armed Forces Day is in 2 weeks, Altamont Fair Opens is in 10 weeks and Election Day is in 22 weeks.

I think the cool weather will be refreshing. For the weekend with the cool temperatures, I don’t expect the black flies to be too bad for the weekend. We are rapidly moving past black fly season. With those long nights it will be nice in the Adirondacks this weekend . I may pick up some fireworks locally to light off and play with during the weekend.

I’ve started to thinking about mounting the solar panel permanently on the roof of my truck cap. Been thinking about how much sun the truck gets parked and then I would have ample power at camp while parked. I worry about leaks though by drilling through the truck cap roof, so I have some questions about doing it.

I hope you had a good day. Sleep well.
