It looks like Clinton will see some sunny summertime weather for this year’s Summer Solstice.

The National Weather Service forecast for that day is calling for sunny weather, with a high near 76. Evening and night temperatures could hit a low of 60. The first weekend of summer will see temperaturs staying around the low to mid 70s and, and dipping down into the low 60s at night. The forecast says Saturday and Sunday will be mostly to partly sunny. 

This year’s Summer Solstice, which marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, will happen shortly after midnight on Friday at 1:04 AM for us here in the Eastern Time Zone, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac website.
