N.O.A.A. did predict light scattered showers overnight, and we have had that. It is quite humid this morning, so all clothes are sticking to us. It is a bit uncomfortable.
For today, N.O.A.A. forecasts rain for most of the day, ending with light scattered showers. Their forecast for cloud cover does support that forecast (88%/88%/88%/83%). The front has not passed through Wilton, Maine yet, and there are still some showers that seem to be moving toward us on the NEXRAD regional radar. The Weather Underground model forecast maps indicate that we will have rain all day as well.
My Weather Stick is frowning again, and with 87% relative humidity I cannot blame it. All three of the electronic instruments forecast falling barometric pressure. That is usually an indication of inclement weather on its way. Two of them are forecasting a mix of clouds and sun. The remote weather station forecasts cloudy conditions. From what I can see out of my window it is raining and looks like it will continue. If you have any shopping you would like to do, this might be the day to do it.
