As predicted, we did not see the sun in Wilton at all today. We did have some showers, drizzle and just plain humid air. In between showers, I was able to get some yard work done, such as filling in the trench where the pipes from my Outdoor Wood Boiler lead to my basement. It has now been filled in and compacted with the roller. All I need to do now is put down some grass seed and use some of my willow branches to protect it from the birds until it can establish itself. The forecast high temperature of 60°F, was a little low, it actually reached 66.2°F here. We were overcast, and it was very humid with the relative humidity remaining above 84% all day. It just was not very pleasant.
The Weather Underground forecast model maps declare that the sky will clear overnight, and we will not have any further precipitation. (Would that was true.) The N.O.A.A. forecast graphics show us having the potential for some scattered showers overnight, with temperatures not falling more than four or five degrees to 52°F, and the cloud cover is to remain at around 80%.
My Weather Stick points down, so the relative humidity is still up, and the forecast by the Stick is for more inclement weather. The Min/Max Thermometer and Weather Station Console both forecast the continuation of this cloudy showery weather, with deteriorating barometric pressure. The remote weather station is back to its old ways of forecasting clouds. I will suggest that they are correct, and that this weather may well continue into tomorrow, with showers and cool temperatures.
