Yes, the sun shall, but the only question is when. It started raining around mid-afternoon, and since this morning we have had almost a tenth of an inch of rain. There was just a short period this morning where we had some sunshine, and the temperature made it into the upper forties. I went outside and checked on the crocuses. They are just barely through the ground by maybe a half an inch. Not enough to photograph. We are just going to have to wait for their color to grace these pages. N.O.A.A. predicted light rain this afternoon and no rain this morning. I think they got this one right.
For the overnight N.O.A.A. predicts rain, and their forecast cloud cover supports that (94%/95%/96%/93%). The forecast temperature also supports rain as the precipitation type. Looking at my Weather Station Console, it is a little early to predict the temperature not falling below freezing, but we shall see.
My Weather Stick points down indicative of the 84% relative humidity. The Weather Station console has its storm alert active and falling barometric pressure. The Min/Max Thermometer forecasts rain with a falling barometer. The remote weather station forecasts clouds with falling barometric pressure. I was outside a few minutes ago, and it was still raining lightly, but raining it was. I think we will see more as the evening wears on. .
