Good morning! Happy Cinco de Mayo. 🤠

Cinco de Mayo falls on a Friday, which doesn’t happen but every seven to eight years, unless of course you use the Cosworth calendar.

Cool and cloudy to start out the morning. Mostly cloudy and 42 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind. The skies will clear around 1 pm.

My truck is mostly packed 🛻 for the coming weekend. I am working until 1 pm after which I’m heading out of town. It should be a nice weekend. I would have taken a full day off but this year hasn’t proven to have much comp time so I’m trying to save what I can for the summer and autumn when it’s really nice.

Today will have a chance of showers, mainly between noon and 5pm. Mostly cloudy 🌦, with a high of 61 degrees at 4pm. Seven degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 19th. Calm wind becoming north around 5 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 30%. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 68 degrees. The record high of 91 was set in 1944. There was a dusting of snow in 1900.❄

Shopping for camping 🛒 these days feels so werid without buying beer, cheese, sausage, apple juice and cookies. 🍏 Apples, fish, spinach, potatoes, strawberries 🍓 are in. I have to admit my camp food selections tastes a lot better and are much healthier. Plus I like what it’s doing to my body.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:53 pm with sun having an altitude of 63.6° from the due south horizon (-7.2° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 3 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:20 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (287°). 📸

The sunset is in the west-northwest (293°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 8:00 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 8 seconds with dusk around 8:30 pm, which is one minute and 7 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At dusk you’ll see the Full 🌝 Moon in the east-southeast (119°) at an altitude of 3° from the horizon, 236,835 miles away. 🚀 The best time to look at the stars is after 9:10 pm. At sunset, look for partly cloudy skies 🌃 and temperatures around 55 degrees. There will be a calm wind. Today will have 14 hours and 17 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 25 seconds over yesterday.

I think it will be a great weekend to get away. ⛺ Enjoy the quiet, have some good meals and do some hiking. Lay back in the hammock, have a nice fire 🔥. Plus with work and everything else I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get out of town again until June. 🏖

Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌃 , with a low of 41 degrees at 5am. Four degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 26th. Light northwest wind. In 2022, we had mostly clear skies. It got down to 49 degrees. The record low of 29 occurred back in 1969.
