The sky to the east shows a few mare's tails and mackerel scales, indicative of rain in twenty-four hours. It is starting out to be another in a string of nice days. The model weather maps for N.O.A.A. and Weather Underground indicate clear weather for this area for the whole day. While I was writing this report some ground fog moved in, but it has already begun to dissipate. You will also note that I am showing the wind chill at this time, and that parameter is currently based on the low temperature. Later in the season, I will base it on the current temperature, when it is below 45 degrees.
Now to the instruments and indicators. The Weather Stick points down as usual with a 90% relative humidity, no surprise there. The electronic instrumentation is another matter. The Weather Station Console indicates improving barometric pressure with sunshine. The Min/Max Thermometer indicates deteriorating barometric pressure with a mix of sun and clouds. Finally, the remote weather station forecasts clouds. Talk about confusion! I like the N.O.A.A. forecast of a clear day with temperatures in the upper seventies. That works for me to get outside, get some more wood and mow the lawn if the time permits.
