Pea Soup Fog At 06:15 hours (Looking East)
The fog is so thick this morning that I was unable to make a determination of the cloud types or percent of cloud cover. For the latter I needed to rely on Weather Underground. They show the current cloud cover as overcast. Right now (06:00 hours) the sun should be rising, but because of the fog, it has yet to be seen, even though it is getting brighter outside.
The Weather Underground forecast model map is still calling for a clear day today for our area, although there are some very hefty storms to our west. They also predict that those storms will arrive between 18:00 and 21:00 hours this evening. N.O.A.A. predicts that there is a chance of precipitation from 11:00 hours on, and that we will have some heavier precipitation this evening, lasting into tomorrow. Their prediction for the temperature is for a maximum of 67°F by 14:00 hours, and the cloud cover increasing to 85% by 17:00 hours.
My Weather Stick points down in response to the 91% humidity, and if it stays that way as the morning progresses it may indicate some inclement weather. My Min/Max Thermometer and Weather Station Console continue to forecast a clear day with improving barometric pressure. I am not so sure of that. The remote weather station forecasts a mix of sun and clouds. I will fly in the face of my instruments and, based on the Weather Underground and N.O.A.A. forecasts suggest that the weather today will be unsettled with a chance of showers during the day and heavier precipitation tonight. I could be wrong, and only time will tell if I got it right or not.
