August 19, 2018 Night

Good evening! Mostly clear and 65 degrees in Westerlo. There is a south-southeast breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 56 degrees.

Laying back in the hammock at my parents house, probably going to head to bed pretty soon so I get my eight hours. 💤 I mean I could probably just lower the back and sleep in my hammock tonight but I’ll probably sleep in my truck just because it’s going to be fairly cool and I think I’ll want some blankets by morning. Lots of moon light and the crickets are singing tonight.

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌞 , with a low of 58 degrees at 4am. Two degrees below normal. Maximum dew point of 56 at 10pm. Southeast wind around 6 mph becoming light and variable after midnight. Should be great sleeping weather. In 2017, we had mostly clear skies. It was somewhat humid. It got down to 63 degrees. The record low of 45 occurred back in 1998.

Tonight will have a Waxing Gibbous Moon 🌔 with 68% illuminated with the moon setting at 12:58 am. The moon will set at 1:00 am. The Sturgeon Moon 🌕 is on Saturday night with partly cloudy skies. The sun will rise at 6:07 am with the first light at 5:37 am, which is one minute and 5 seconds later than yesterday. 🌄 Tonight will have 10 hours and 18 minutes of darkness, an increase of 2 minutes and 36 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will have patchy fog before 8am. Otherwise, mostly sunny 🌞 , with a high of 75 degrees at 3pm. Five degrees below normal. Maximum dew point of 60 at 4pm. Light and variable wind becoming east around 6 mph in the morning. A year ago, we had mostly cloudy skies with some clearing in the afternoon. It was humid. The high last year was 81 degrees. The record high of 97 was set in 1937.

Next weekend looks like it might be perfect weather-wise. 😎 Next Saturday, sunny, with a high near 77. Maximum dew point of 58 at 7pm. Next Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 80. Maximum dew point of 66 at 8pm. Typical average high for the weekend is 79 degrees.

Definitely planning to head out of town next weekend. I’m hoping to get Friday off, ⛺and despite all ruminating about it I’m leaning towards Moose River this weekend and maybe Pisceo Powley for Labor Day Weekend if the weather is good. I would love to be in the plains at one of the sandy campsites, looking up at the stars, laying back in the hammock all weekend. It’s a long trip but I doubt I’ll get back to the plains before it closes for the winter. ❄

In four weeks on September 16 the sun will be setting at 7:03 pm,🌄 which is 47 minutes and 35 seconds earlier then tonight. In 2017 on that day, we had fog, patches of fog, mist, partly cloudy skies and temperatures between 83 and 64 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 72 and 52 degrees. The record high of 92 degrees was set back in 1939.

Looking ahead, Daylight Savings Time Ends 🛥️ is in 11 weeks, Veterans Day (Sunday) 🇺🇸 is in 12 weeks and First Sunday of Advent ✝️ is in 15 weeks.
