When I took Bart out for his morning constitutional the moon was just going down, and the sky was as clear as a bell. Despite that, the temperature was still over forty degrees. The southwest and west-southwest wind seems to be bringing us a great deal of warm air. On the way back in I could hear the wind chimes that we have hanging in the tree near the driveway. They actually sounded quite nice at this early point in the day. It was a gentle breeze that was moving them. That breeze has since died down, and the temperature, which was on the rise, has fallen back a couple of degrees.
Both of the electronic instruments are suggesting that we are in for some deteriorating weather, but the weather stick is still not sure. It is straight out indicating some fluctuation in the weather, but nothing definitive. Further, it is at about the same state as it was last night. Maybe it can sense something that the others cannot. It is 05:30 and I took a look out my east window to find a rosy-fingered dawn on the horizon. Maybe that is what the prediction should be. A red sky at dawning, and sailors take warning. That seems to be tipping the balance of my prognostication for today. Perhaps some inclement weather is in store for us.
