No Lunar Eclipse In Wilton, Maine!
The fog was so thick this morning during the time that we would have been able to observe the Corn Moon Lunar Eclipse that it was not even possible to see the moon. We did have a pleasant night with the temperature reaching the high forties, even though the relative humidity remained quite high. Is it any wonder that we had fog since around 02:00 hours this morning. It does appear that the N.W.S. had the predominant weather forecast correct.
For today, N.O.A.A. forecasts no precipitation with very low cloud cover (13%/9%/12%/11%). There is a shower cell on the Canadian side of Lake Erie, but it does not seem to have moved. I do not believe it will affect us. The Weather Underground model forecast maps also show us in the clear for today. It looks like we will have another day to work outside, and that is good.
My Weather Stick has responded appropriately to the high humidity by frowning. Two of the electronic instruments are calling for fair skies with rising barometric pressure. The remote weather station also calls for rising barometric pressure, but with a mix of sun and clouds. I think we will have another day like yesterday, and that will allow me to get quite a bit done outside. At least I do not have a lot of errands to run, which would make serious demands on the time I have for tasks that I need to finish.
