Those Are Raindrops Coming Off My Roof
We have definitely had some rain overnight. According to my weather history file we had a brief shower around 00:30 hours, and then it started in earnest around 05:30 hours. It is still raining (07:15 hours); therefore, the total for the day will increase over what I have reported so far. There is a little wind, and it is variable both in speed and direction. Just a point of interest, has anyone else noticed that some of the maple trees and birch trees are beginning to show some fall reds and yellows? I have seen some here in the Wilton area, and even farther north. I fear that fall is on its way, and there is no way to stop it, or even slow it down.
The NEXRAD composite radar shows a frontal line of rain all the way back into New York, and headed our way. The Weather Underground model forecast map indicates rain most of the day and heavy at times. Finally, the N.O.A.A. forecast map shows the rain tapering off late this afternoon, and the temperature only reaching the upper sixties. I have not even looked at this evenings forecast, but I will do that later.
My Weather Stick points down, and at 92% relative humidity that is no surprise, but we can take it to portend some inclement weather today. The Weather Station Console and Min/Max Thermometer are in agreement that the barometric pressure will continue to fall (it has fallen overnight) and rainy conditions will occur. The remote weather station has not yet caught up with the weather and forecasts clouds for the day. Of course, without clouds we cannot have rain. Just a note from the Calendar: A cubic foot of air can hold between 25 million and 100 million condensation nuclei, the tiny particles of dust and other solids around which rain, snow and other hydrometeors form.
