N.O.A.A. did not get the predominant weather correct for today; rather we had heavy fog all day long. Apparently we had a small amount, 0.02in., of drizzle during the afternoon. The cloud cover was at least 80% all day, and it probably was closer to 100%. This has been another one of those dark, dank, and dismal days.
For the overnight N.O.A.A. forecasts rain tapering to light showers by 04:00 hours tomorrow morning. They further predict the cloud cover will decrease to about 77% from its current high of 93%. Once again, they predict that the temperature will not go below freezing. I do not think I will take their word for it. I will drain and coil my hose when my chores are done.
The relative humidity currently is 93% and my Weather Stick points down. We are surprised by this? For the third report all three of my electronic instruments forecast inclement weather with deteriorating barometric pressure. How can I say this? We are going to have another dark, dank, dismal period of weather.
