The first one started around 01:00 hours, and the second around 04:00 hours. So., N.O.A.A. was right about having rain overnight, and that it would stop by around 05:00 hours. Although the garden has not yet been planted, it has now had a bit of rain. Planting will commence today. In the area where the tomatoes and squashes will be planted I will be using weed block to keep the weeds under control in that area. This is new for me, and It will be interesting since the grass was already a foot tall when I started tilling the area.
For today N.O.A.A. forecasts no precipitation for this area of Wilton, Maine. The cloud cover is forecast to continue to decrease (73%/69%/66%/46%), and the temperature should be comfortably in the mid to upper seventies. I did look at the wind predictions, and N.O.A.A. suggests that the winds will be mainly from the west increasing from 7 to about 13 miles per hour.
My Weather Stick points slightly down this morning, but if the forecast relative humidity is correct it should point up soon. All three of the electronic instruments forecast falling barometric pressure. Two of them are predicting foul weather today, while the remote weather station forecasts cloudy conditions. I suspect we will have periods of sun interspersed with periods of clouds today. It actually should be quite pleasant for a late spring day.

N.O.A.A. did not do well with either the temperature or relative humidity forecasts. They only got the 05:00 hour data point correct for the temperature. That was a very bad job.
