When One Forgets to Recite the Bracha on a Friday and the Actual Counting for That Day

The Scenario

Imagine this: you've forgotten not only to recite the bracha on a Friday, but also the actual counting for that day. Then, after going to the synagogue to accept an early Shabbat, you suddenly remember. The question then arises - can you count the missing sefirah before it turns dark so that you can continue counting with a blessing?
