My Sense that it was going to be a grey day was more that fulfilled. My goats and sheep did not go outside today. No, they are not spoiled they all smell that way. (P.S. Joke! You may laugh now.) N.O.A.A. and the Weather Underground did get the predominant weather correct. It has rained most of the day. I have heard that it snowed in the Strong area this morning. The cloud cover remained constant throughout the day, and there were no breaks. The temperature and humidity for today are detailed below:
Temperature: 38°F/39°F//43°F/38°F//45°F/38°F///44°F/40°F. (-17%)
Relative Humidity: 67%/87%//74%/87%//83%/88%//85%/88%. (-41%)
That results in a score of 42% or another "F".
For the overnight N.O.A.A. predicts that we will have scattered showers until 02:00 after which the scattered showers will be mixed precipitation. Oh, Joy. The cloud cover will decrease from 95%/91%/87% and back up to 89%. The temperature and humidity will fare as follows:
Temperature: 40°F/38°F/37°F/36°F.
Relative Humidity: 96%/96%/100%/100%
Once again, we have an intricate and complicated forecast. We shall wee what comes of it.
My Weather Stick points down, and with the weather and humidity that is to be expected. My electronic instruments are not making things clear cut. The Weather Station Console predicts the barometric pressure will continue to deteriorate with some rain. The Min/Max Thermometer forecasts improving barometric pressure with unsettled weather. The remote weather station forecasts continued rain with a steady barometer. I think I will go with the unsettled weather for the overnight, very little change in temperature, high relative humidity and skies remaining overcast. That unsettled weather could be rain showers or mixed precipitation. My guess is as good as anybody else's. .
