Good afternoon! Happy Saturday. Finally the weekend! Some drizzle is coming down but at least it’s warmer at 52 degrees in North Syracuse. There is a south breeze at 10 mph. Three months out from my 34th Birthday. So wish me a Happy Birthday.

Another damp and wet Saturday. This weekend isn’t going to be a great one, but we will get up to 60 degrees. Cooler then last year, but still above normal. When I was in Price Chopper this morning buying more fruit and milk for breakfast, it started to pour. It was so loud on the roof of the grocery store. Milk is super cheap these days, when you can buy a gallon for $2. Blueberries were also on sale.

Today will have showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before noon, then scattered showers and thunderstorms between noon and 2pm, then scattered showers after 2pm. High of 60 degrees at 5pm. Five degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 51 at 6pm. Southwest wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. Last year, mostly cloudy with a high around 70. The record high of 77 was set in 1946. There was 3.8 inches of snow back in 2011.

The sun will set at 5:59 pm with dusk around 6:28 pm, which is 1 minutes and 22 seconds earlier than yesterday. Today will have 10 hours and 21 minutes of daylight, a decrease of 2 minutes and 38 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be scattered showers, mainly before 10pm. Low of 51 degrees at 5am. 11 degrees above normal. West wind 8 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. One year ago, partly cloudy with a low around 37. The record low of 20 occurred back in 1969.

There are 3 weeks until Regular Season Opens in Southern Zone when the sun will be setting at 4:36 pm with dusk at 5:07 pm (Standard Time). The average high temperature is 47 degrees, with a record high of 71 in 1921.

There are 9 days, 9 hours and 35 minutes until the polls close in NY State on Election Day. Tick. Tick. Tick.
