Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Currently it’s partly sunny and 45 degrees with calm wind. There is some blue sky out there, especially to the south. A lot of haze this morning in places though.

Today will be mostly cloudy, with a high near 57. Light and variable wind. That’s about 16 degrees above normal. The record high of 68 degrees was set back in 2012. I remember that heat wave we had in 2012, although with climate change it seems like March is the month warming up the most important quickly. Not record breaking but we will be heading into that territory tomorrow with highs expected to reach the upper 60s.

Tonight the sun will set at 5:54 pm with darkness around 6:22 pm, which is 1 minutes and 11 seconds later than yesterday. Today will have 11 hours and 37 minutes of daylight, an increase of 2 minutes and 53 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy, with a low around 46. South wind 3 to 6 mph. That’s about 23 degrees above normal. Pretty mild for March. Might be good weather for tailgate drinking. The record low of -14 degrees was set back in 1943. Cold weather is still possible this time of year,even if the next few days are expected to be pretty mild. Still negative records are getting less frequent and usually just the single digits as we head towards spring.

There are 1 month, 28 days until Cinco de Mayo when the sun will be setting at 8:01 pm (Daylight Savings Time). The average high temperature for Cinco de Mayo is 66 degrees, with a record high of 91 in 1944. Springtime is nice.

Happy Birthday to Micky Dolnez of The Monkees. He turns a happy 71 today. Then I saw her face, and now I’m a believer.

Today in 1971, Philips demonstrates the compact disc publicly for the first time. Nowadays CDs seem like a technology relegated to landfills and burn barrels like the 8 tracks, reduced to rubble and smoke. I can’t remember the last time I played music on a CD. Time sure goes past quickly.

On that note, have a great Tuesday. The weekend will be here before you know it. The next stop is mine.
