The overcast appears to be stratocumulus clouds, and they seem to be starting to break up. We had some rain overnight, and right now, it is raining again. We went for a ride yesterday morning, and many of the gardens that are usually prepared and partially planted by now have not been touched. So, mine is not the only one that is in trouble due to this very wet weather. With nine days to go in this month, we have had 5.78 inches of rain, and that leaves us less than three inches before we exceed our total for May 2005.
Obviously, with the rain falling outside the weather stick is pointed down. Two of the electronic instruments are indicating rain with deteriorating conditions. The weather station console is indicating mixed sun and clouds with deteriorating conditions. I think, from the conditions I see, that the pattern we have seen for past couple of days will continue for about the next twelve hours. The model that I looked at seems to indicate the same, and may even continue into tomorrow. Not Good!
