Good morning! Happy 7 PM Sunset 🌆! Next Wednesday has More Night then Day 🀼󓀮 Winters coming. By for now, mostly sunny and 49 degrees at the Elm Ave Park & Ride – CDTA. Calm wind. ☀ Not a bad autumn morning, a few hints of color in the city. Enjoyed my walk 🚶 down to the express bus 🚍.

Tonight is the Save the Pine Bush Dinner 🍲 and it should be a good one. County Legislator Doug Bullock will be speaking. 6 pm at the West Presbyterian Church ⛪ downtown. Bird 🐦 Hike is on Saturday at 8 am.

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 71 degrees at 3pm. Typical for today. Maximum dew point of 47 at 10am. Calm wind becoming north 5 to 9 mph in the afternoon. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. It was sticky. The high last year was 84 degrees. The record high of 91 was set in 1891.

The sun will set at 7:00 pm with dusk around 7:28 pm, which is one minute and 48 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 62 degrees. There will be a north-northeast breeze at 5 mph. Today will have 12 hours and 22 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 52 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 43 degrees at 5am. Seven degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around October 5th. Light and variable wind. Almost warrants closing my windows before bed but if it’s cold in my apartment come morning I’ll just have a hot cup of coffee. ☕ 2018, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It was somewhat humid. It got down to 60 degrees. The record low of 32 occurred back in 1959.

Awesome weekend on tap, with temperatures running 12 degrees above normal. 😎 Saturday, sunny, with a high near 81. Maximum dew point of 61 at 4pm. Sunday, sunny, with a high near 84. Maximum dew point of 60 at 1pm. Typical average high for the weekend is 70 degrees.

It should be a great weekend for the Pine Bush Hike 🌲and a visit to the potholers. Only going away for one day this weekend but I might go away for two nights if the weather is good next weekend. The following weekend it’s down to West Virginia 🍂 for my road trip.

I think this weekend I’ll need to replace my boots 👢 as now they are really falling apart. I might do that on Thursday evening and maybe also get a new camp chair plus food for camping on Saturday. 🍣

As previously noted, next Wednesday is More Night then Day 🌌 when the sun will be setting at 6:48 pm with dusk at 7:16 pm. On that day in 2018, we had rain and temperatures between 63 and 51 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 68 degrees. We hit a record high of 91 back in 2017.

Earlier today I posted a graph of the sunset 🌇 times. 📊 Definitely every evening now when I leave work the sun angle has dropped dramatically. At least this year with my autumn road trip planned a week earlier then normal, the nights will be a little longer. But I still expect most mornings on vacation to be getting up before dawn so I can fully enjoy the day before I have to return to camp before darkness. 🌃 Coffee ☕ at camp ⛺ is always good on a cold morning.
