For the third morning in a row, we have had a clear or nearly clear start to the day. This morning there was a line of clouds on the eastern horizon, and they appeared to be cirrus type, but I could not be sure. There was also a light red cast to the sky before the sun came up, and that seems to be getting later and later. I just looked back at last year's precipitation, and by this same date, we had only 0.7 inches of rain as opposed to 1.24 inches. It seems that this entire year is going to be wetter than last year, and we wonder why our lawns are growing so fast.
My weather instruments do not agree at all this morning. The Weather Stick points down, as usual, and that so far does not have a great deal of meaning, since we have found that the relative humidity is the driving force behind it. The Weather Station Console predicts a rising barometer with sunshine today. The Min/Max Thermometer predicts a falling barometer with a mix of sun and clouds. The remote weather station predicts its usual clouds. Looking at the forecast maps, I find that the two I watch most closely predict a clear day with temperatures in the very low seventies. It looks like another very good day for outdoor activities, and I will accept that.
