Overnight we have had almost 0.4 inches of rain. It is still raining, so that may put a crimp in any outdoor activities for this morning. If you are interested, the site to find out even more about weather sticks is www.new-potato.com/wstick. There is quite a bit of information there. My short study is now complete, and, while it is not perfect, there seems to be some correlation between the position of the weather stick and the coming weather. The better correlation is between the weather stick and the relative humidity. When the humidity is up the weather stick is down, and when the humidity is down the weather stick points up.
This morning the weather stick points at the ground, and the relative humidity is at 92%. The rest of the instrumentation is calling for deteriorating conditions with rain. I think they have it right this time.
