When I went outside at about 05:30 hours the sky was overcast, the air oppressive and the ground fog was in place. Now, barely a half hour later, we are in the throes of a pretty significant thunderstorm. The rain has been falling at a rate of almost 1/4 of an inch per hour. There has been some lightning and thunder around making Bart quite nervous. We must be on the edge of the storm, because as quickly as it started it has stopped.
The weather stick points down, and that is a no brainier, as usual. The interesting thing is the complete disagreement among the electronic instruments. The Weather Station Console is calling for sunshine and fair weather. The Min/Max thermometer is forecasting stormy weather, and finally the remote weather station forecasts cloudy weather. You may take your pick, and believe the one you like the best. There is no danger of snow here, so that is not an option, but you select anything else. When instruments disagree like this, I am less and less surprised at the inaccuracy of the "experts" forecasts. Mother Nature will do whatever She wants to, and that may or may not match what we mere mortals predict that She will do.
