Good evening! Currently mostly cloudy and 67 degrees in Albany. The dew point is a comfortable 51.

Partly cloudy but otherwise seasonable for tonight. Looking at a low around 58. Calm wind. The normal low for tonight is 57, so it will be about normal for this time of year. The record low of 40 occurred back in 1961.

Tonight we have a Waxing Gibbous Moon with 70% illuminated. The moon will rise around 3:18 pm and will set around 3:53 am. June’s Strawberry Moon is on Monday.

Tomorrow the sun will rise at 5:16 am with the first light at 4:41 am, which is 5 seconds later then today.

Mostly sunny and warm tomorrow. Thinking we may have high near 85. Light east wind. The normal high for Thursday is 78, so it will be about seven degrees above normal. The record high of 96 happened back in 1967.

Looking ahead, Thrift Shop Day is in 9 weeks.

Tonight as part of the construction process on the 787, they had it narrowed down to one lane after hours. Talk about a pain in the ass. There are no merge lanes open, instead the DOT has put up yield signs, as all traffic is funneled into the fast lane. Fortunately, at like 11 PM, there is very little traffic on the 787, but it’s still pretty annoying.

I hope you had a good day. Sleep well.

Good morning! Dairy Day at LOB from 11-1 pm. So free ice cream and cheese is always good. Currently mostly sunny and 64 degrees in Delmar. Pleasant morning today. There is a southwest breeze at 5 mph.

Going to be sunny and fairly warm.Looking at a high later today near 84. Good day for eating free ice cream. Light west wind becoming northwest 5 to 10 mph in the morning. The normal high for today is 78, so it will be about six degrees above normal. The record high of 96 happened back in 1988.

Tonight the sun will set at 8:35 pm with dusk around 9:10 pm, which is 23 seconds later than yesterday. Today will have 15 hours and 18 minutes of daylight, an increase of 20 seconds over yesterday. We are almost at the longest day of the year.

Partly cloudy about seasonable for tonight. Looking at a low around 57. Light and variable wind. The normal low for tonight is 57, so we are just about average. The record low of 40 occured back in 1961.

On this day in 1967, The People’s Republic of China tests its first hydrogen bomb. It would be one of the world’s few powers with access to the devestatingly powerful hydrogen bombs.

There are 9 weeks until Thrift Shop Day when the sun will be setting at 7:52 pm with dusk at 8:22 pm. The average high temperature is 81 degrees, with a record high of 97 in 1913.

Last night I pulled up behind a State Trooper (Capitol Police division most likely) at a stop light downtown. He was in a big Chevy Tahoe, but compared to my big jacked up truck, I was looking down at him. At the light I think all he could see was my grill. I thought that was kind of funny. My truck always looks so big downtown.
