May 23, 2019 Night
Good evening! There is a pretty good thunderstorm rolling through and 65 degrees in Delmar. β‘ Not a lot of lightening here but lots of flashes to the north, some good gusts of breeze and rain. Raining hard enough to sound like a cow pissing. Breezy, οΈ16 mph breeze from the west-southwest π¬ with gusts up to 28 mph π¨π¨π¨. The dew point is 58 degrees.
My truck is pretty much ready to go just the normal things to pack come morning. πI went grocery shopping after work and then went to the Pine Bush meeting. Camp after work tomorrow in the Greens. βΊ It would be nice if the bosses let us leave at 3 pm tomorrow but that’s probably unlikely although today was the slowest day at work in probably two months for me. Sexual harassment training was awful but I survived it. I treat women and my colleagues with respect, although I guess it’s good to have a refresher.
Tonight will have showers and thunderstorms likely before midnight, then a chance of showers between midnight and 1am. Partly cloudy π§, with a low of 57 degrees at 5am. Seven degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around June 15th. Maximum dew point of 58 at 10pm. West wind around 17 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. In 2018, we had mostly clear skies. It got down to 52 degrees. The record low of 29 occurred back in 1963.

The Last Quarter Moon is on Saturday night with scattered t-storms around. The Strawberry Moon π is on Sunday, June 16th. The sun will rise at 5:25 am with the first light at 4:52 am, which is 47 seconds earlier than yesterday. π Tonight will have 9 hours and 5 minutes of darkness, a decrease of one minute and 40 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will have isolated showers after 1pm. Partly sunny π, with a high of 70 degrees at 3pm. Two degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around May 19th. Should be a nice day but watch for unstable weather in the evening. Maximum dew point of 52 at 2pm. Northwest wind around 18 mph, with gusts as high as 32 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 80 degrees. The record high of 92 was set in 1964.
It’s off to the Green Mountains π» tomorrow. Maybe Branch Pond Road, maybe closer to Grout Pond or Forest Road 73. I’m thinking about hiking to Downer Glen or maybe Lye Brook Falls or maybe I’ll just hang out at camp. βΊ I do want to camp somewhere I have a bit of space so I don’t have to worry about making too much noise. π
Memorial Day Weekend doesn’t look too bad. β Just got to watch for thunderstorms and downpours on Saturday evening. Pretty good warm up come Sunday. Saturday, a chance of showers after 2pm.
