August 31, 2016 Afternoon

I am not expecting the clouds to break this afternoon. So around dark, it we will have mostly cloudy conditions and temperatures around 76 degrees.  Somewhat humid,  with a dew point around 64 degrees. There will be a southwest breeze at 6 mph.

The sun will set at 7:29 pm with dusk around 7:58 pm, which is 1 minutes and 42 seconds earlier than yesterday. New moon tonight. The Full “Corn” Moon is on Friday, September 16th at 7:05 pm.

Tomorrow will be mostly cloudy, with a high of 79 degrees at 3pm. Two degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 63 at 6am. Northwest wind 5 to 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Some clearing expected in the afternoon, but won’t be a real great afternoon. The record high of 96 was set in 1953.

August 31, 2016 – This Day in History

On this day in 1965, the Super Guppy took it’s first flight. The Aero Spacelines Super Guppy is a large, wide-bodied cargo aircraft that is used for hauling outsize cargo components. It was the successor to the Pregnant Guppy, the first of the Guppy aircraft produced by Aero Spacelines, which in turn was named for its resemblance to a pregnant guppy. Five were built in two variants, both of which were colloquially referred to as the “Super Guppy”.
