There was one hole in the cloud cover west southwest of this location making it a mostly cloudy sky rather than overcast. The moon and some stars were visible through the overcast giving the landscape an eerie light. For this time of year it is warm and a bit humid. The cloud cover did act as a blanket keeping us relatively warm, or at least not allowing the temperature to fall below freezing. The barometer is still falling slowly, so whatever storm system is coming is taking a while getting here. If the precipitation starts this afternoon it will probably fall as rain, and with the ground as saturated as it is more rain is just what we don't need. How this event ends will depend on the timing of the cold air on Tuesday. The earlier the cold air arrives the more freezing precipitation we will have, be it freezing rain, sleet or snow. For this event I will put my rain gauge back out and hope that it does not freeze during the weather event.
