The fog finally did clear late this morning, but in so doing, it left us with overcast skies. The nimbostratus and stratus clouds stayed with us all day. We did have a light shower around 14:00 hours this afternoon, but the 0.02 inches of rain was not recorded until 17:00 hours when it started to rain again. It appears that N.O.A.A. got it right today, since the overcast has been getting lower and lower, and the temperature did reach its maximum of 66.2°F. It also appears that I have gotten it right today as well.
N.O.A.A. forecasts rain, heavy at times, through the overnight, tapering to showers by morning, a low temperature of 53°F and 100% cloud cover all night. The Weather Underground model forecast heavier rain starting around 21:00 hours and continuing into tomorrow morning. The only difference between the two models is the timing.
My Weather Stick has pointed down all day, so, I guess, it has predicted inclement weather for today. The Weather Station Console forecasts deteriorating barometric pressure and a mix of sun and clouds. The Min/Max Thermometer forecasts continued high barometric pressure and clear skies. The remote weather station is back to predicting clouds. The barometric pressure has begun to fall. I think that we will have some rain overnight, and the temperature will be fall-like. Summer certainly seems to be winding down.
