Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Two weeks to 8:30 PM Sunset ️⛱️. If that’s not a short lived reminder of summer, I don’t know what is. Kind a deary day with Light Rain and 62 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ At least that’s what my display at home says. There is a south-southeast breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 52 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 8 am.

Today will have showers likely, mainly after 10am. Cloudy ☁, with a high of 63 degrees at 2pm. Eight degrees below normal. Despite the gray weather the solar panel on my truck is putting out enough current to float the battery at 13.2 volts. Maximum dew point of 55 at 12pm. South wind 5 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. A year ago, we had cloudy skies. The high last year was 61 degrees. The record high of 97 was set in 1911.

The sun will set at 8:18 pm with dusk around 8:51 pm, which is 57 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for rain ☁ and 61 degrees. The dew point will be 52 degrees. There will be a south breeze at 10 mph. Today will have 14 hours and 52 minutes of daytime, an increase of one minute and 45 seconds over yesterday.

Kind of a rainy and gray day.💦 I think I will need to turn on the lights when I get into the office. Not every day can be sunny and eighty.

The latest models for the weekend forecast have improved, so I will probably go up to the Southern Adirondacks for the long weekend, but maybe come back on Sunday depending on how wet things are and how bad the black flies are. ⛺Pumpkin Hollow maybe or Old Route 8 I’m leaning towards but I’ve not made up my mind for sure. Kelley Stand in Vermont is fine but it was so wet last year.

Over the past two days I’ve found two adult ticks on me. 🐜At least they don’t have such a tick problem up north. I refuse to be a prisoner to ticks. I could wear long sleeve shirts and pants and apply DEET but duck that all summer long. I really have just one life to live and I’m not going to be held hostage to Lyme disease. Plus I probably already have it and that’s why I’m achy and sore some days. A least I’m feeling good today.

Tonight will have a chance of showers, mainly before 5am. Cloudy , with a low of 57 degrees at 3am. Eight degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 55 at 1am. South wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. In 2017, we had cloudy skies, clearing in the early hours of the next day. It got down to 46 degrees. The record low of 36 occurred back in 1967.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until 8:30 PM Sunset ️⛱️ when the sun will be setting at 8:29 pm with dusk at 9:04 pm. On that day in 2017, we had thunderstorm, thunderstorm rain, rain, mist, cloudy skies and temperatures between 66 and 55 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 75 degrees. We hit a record high of 97 back in 1925.
