Fall begins at 5:18 pm EDT tomorrow evening. The autumnal equinox marks the time that the direct rays of the sun are directly over the equator. Those direct rays will continue moving into the southern hemisphere as we get closer to winter.
The term equinox suggests equal daylight and darkness. That is true closer to the equator. Our sunrise Tuesday will be at 7:23 am, and the sunset will be at 7:32 pm. We continue to lose about 2-3 minutes of daylight each day. By Saturday, our amount of daylight will slip to just below 12 hours.
Normal high this week ranges 70°-72°, and the lows range 49°-51°. Temps look like they will remain above normal until late in the weekend.
