By noon today, the cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds were evident. N.O.A.A.'s estimate of 54% cloud cover for today was incorrect. There were times when it approached 100%, and where I was (a little north of Farmington) there were some sprinkles of rain. On my way home, I did go through a shower, but there was no rain here in Wilton. They did get that chance of precipitation correct after 11:00 hours. It was still very pleasant for outdoor activities.
My goats have destroyed my grape arbor, and I am afraid that I will have very little to harvest from my grapevines this year. That is very like my garden which was a disaster, and from which I may only harvest some garlic. When slogging through oatmeal it is difficult to plant, and when the seed rots in the ground, it is not possible to harvest any vegetables.
Both N.O.A.A. and the Weather Underground forecast maps indicate that this evening and tomorrow will be clear. The temperatures will fall into the forties overnight and rise into the low seventies tomorrow. The cloud cover will fall to about 36% overnight and rise to around 48% tomorrow. They are not calling for rain.
My instruments and indicator (except for the Min/Max Thermometer) all indicate somewhat unsettled conditions. The Weather Stick points slightly up. The Min/Max Thermometer forecasts improving barometric pressure with sunshine. The way the weather went today I suspect that the conditions for tomorrow will be unsettled, but probably no rain.
