Good morning! What day is it? A very nice Hump Day, of course. Currently mostly sunny and 54 degrees with a 10 mph south wind. Endless summer has arrived once again. The heat is off and the windows are open. The fresh breeze in the morning is definitely nice. I don’t see the need for the heat for the foreseeable future but some nights like last will warrant closing the windows.

Today will be mostly sunny, with a high near 72. Southwest wind 7 to 9 mph. That’s about 31 degrees above normal. In other words, really nice weather for March is expected. The record high of 68 degrees set back in 2000 will be smashed and I’ll have to update the records.csv file on my blog.

Tonight the sun will set at 5:56 pm with darkness around 6:24 pm, which is 1 minutes and 12 seconds later than yesterday. Today will have 11 hours and 40 minutes of daylight, an increase of 2 minutes and 54 seconds over yesterday. Saturday night we spring ahead our clocks to start Daylight Savings Time. Long summer evenings are in the future.

Tonight will have a chance of rain, mainly after midnight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 55. Southwest wind 3 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. That’s about 32 degrees above normal. The record low of 0 degrees was set back in 1996. Today in history, there has never been a day below zero at least within city limits.

There are 1 month, 16 days until Arbor Day when the sun will be setting at 7:49 pm (Daylight Savings Time). The average high temperature for Arbor Day is 63 degrees, with a record high of 89 in 2009. Today will be warmer then your typical Arbor Day.

I am looking forward to a nice weekend and spending some time not camping in cold winter weather. The weekend looks very nice and the evenings mild enough to warrant truck cap camping. No heater needed. Still an early sunset but I’ll set my clock ahead early to get into practice.

RIP George Martin the famed Beatles producer who arranged much of the unique sound of the most popular records of all time. It was a Hard Day’s Night without him.

Today in 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt submits the Emergency Banking Act to Congress, the first of his New Deal policies. You could make the case that today was the start of the New Deal.
