By ten o' clock, the promise of a clear day had disappeared. The sky had become overcast and there was a threat of showers. We had several of those throughout the day, but they did not produce enough precipitation to measure. The streets and sidewalks would get barely wet and it would stop for a while, and then we would have another one. Right now, where the sun is there is a hole in the clouds, but it does look like there might be a healthy shower off to our west.
The instrumentation still cannot agree on a forecast. The weather stick is slightly up, and I would like to believe that it is indicating some improvement in the weather, although still a bit unsettled. The Min/Max Thermometer is calling for rain and deteriorating conditions. The remote station is clinging steadfastly to cloudy conditions. The weather station console is clinging just as steadfastly to improving conditions and sun. With all this disagreement, the only thing I can say is that the unsettled conditions will continue for another twelve hours or so. The prognosticators keep telling us that Sunday and Monday will be great, but I have heard that in past years only to see the entire weekend turn out rainy and unsettled. Currently the model does not show that the entire weekend will be a loss, but we will have to wait and see. We will be able to tell by Tuesday.
