It took all day for the clouds to break up and then move back in. By this evening, it looked like it was going to rain, and by the time we left our meeting in Skowhegan it was raining rather hard. The N.O.A.A. for this morning's prognostications receives a grade of zero. They did not get anything correct. The Weather Underground model forecast map did get the precipitation correct, in that it started early this evening.
For the overnight and into tomorrow the Weather Underground model map indicates that we will have some more rain, and I believe that. N.O.A.A. also calls for rain overnight, temperatures to fall slightly to 56°F, the sky to clear from 82 to 73%, and the relative humidity to rise from 93% to 96%. I wonder what their grade will be in the morning.
My Weather Stick points down and it is raining. All three of my electronic instruments call for the barometric pressure to continue to fall, and the weather to be rainy.
