Daylight lovers' despair!

Wednesday is the last sunset after 7 p.m. until March. The sun sets at 7:01 p.m. Wednesday and sets at 6:59 p.m. on Thursday, with 6 p.m. sunsets will continue through the third week of October.

It only gets worse from here through the winter solstice in December, when we have the shortest daylight day of the year.

Shower chances continue through the evening and into the overnight, but wind down as we head into Thursday. A few lingering spotty sports of drizzle are possible for the morning, but a largely dry day is expected overall. Thursday will be partly cloudy with sunshine returning for the afternoon and evening. A big warmup compared to Wednesday, with highs working their way into the higher 70s and low 80s.

Warmth surges into Friday, with an absolutely splendid summerlike day expected. Dry, sunny and warming up into the low 80s. A fabulous end to the work and school week.

The weekend is looking excellent as well. The last official weekend of summer, before we head into fall at 2:19 p.m. on Monday, will feature plenty of sunshine, cool and comfortable temperatures, and no rain. Highs will be in the low 70s with lows in the higher 50s and lower 60s.

An update on the tropics:

After a lull through the peak of hurricane season (Sept. 10), activity has picked up in the tropics. Tropical Storm Gabrielle formed on Wednesday and is not expected to get stronger in the next couple of days. There is the chance for it to intensify within the next three to four days, but we will continue to monitor. It poses no threat to our area at this time.
