Here is were things stand for Powley Place this weekend on the forecast side of things …

Tomorrow night will have patchy fog between 2am and 4am. Otherwise, mostly clear, with a low of 60 degrees at 1am. Typical for Tomorrow night. Maximum dew point of 64 at 8pm. Calm wind. The record low of 45 occurred back in 1998.

Saturday will have a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon. Patchy fog between 7am and 9am. Otherwise, sunny, with a high of 80 degrees at 2pm. One degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 64 at 9am. Calm wind becoming south 5 to 8 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 20%. The record high of 97 was set in 1937.

Saturday night will have a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy, with a low of 65 degrees at 5am. Six degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 64 at 7pm. Chance of precipitation is 20%. The record low of 42 occurred back in 1977.

For sunset tonight, look for partly to mostly cloudy skies and 76 degrees, with muggy conditions with a dew point around 67. The sun will set at 7:50 pm with dusk around 8:20 pm, which is 1 minutes and 33 seconds earlier than yesterday. Clearing throughout the night.

In 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution is ratified, guaranteeing women’s suffrage. I don’t think Donald Trump is much of a fan of that admendment.

And 18 years later in 1938, the Thousand Islands Bridge, connecting New York, United States with Ontario, Canada over the Saint Lawrence River via Wellesley Island, is dedicated by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It remains the primary crossing of St. Lawerence River, where Interstate 81 drops down to two undivided lanes. It’s narrow but continues to serve it’s purpose. I’m sure at some point in the future it will be replaced with a modern interstate bridge.
