The clouds began to form as the morning wore on, and we achieved cloudy skies shortly after noon. The clouds broke up without yielding any rain, but they did build into cumulonimbus clouds. Starting about 15:30 hours we did have a few minor showers and they did not yield any measurable precipitation either. It does appear that both the N.O.A.A. and Weather Underground forecast maps did get it right again today. Maybe that will teach me not to try to predict the weather on my own. Right now, the model software is doing better than I am. I got it wrong twice in a row. Oh, well that is the way the ball bounces.
My weather instruments are doing the same thing they did this morning. The Weather Station Console predicts that the sun will shine, and the barometric pressure will improve. The Min/Max Thermometer also calls for the barometric pressure to improve, but with a mix of sun and clouds. The remote weather station only forecasts clouds. The Weather Stick points up indicating nice weather to follow (RIGHT). The forecast maps are calling for a good day tomorrow with a chance of showers slightly north of Farmington around 14:00 hours, and clearing again by 17:00 hours. The high temperatures are supposed to be in the low seventies. By the way, the barometric pressure is falling here at this time.
