N.O.A.A. forecasts scattered light snow showers all day today, but with the cumulus clouds and wind I have my doubts about that. We had quite a bit of sunshine, but it was ineffective. The temperature never did get above the freezing mark, except on the north side of the house, where, under the influence of the drier, it reached 59.0°F. If you believe that it actually reached that temperature I have some fantastic oceanfront property in New Mexico that I am willing to part with for a very low price (Heh Heh).
The N.W.S. forecasts no precipitation overnight with crystal clear skies (21%/1%/1%/0%) by morning. Likewise the NEXRAD regional radar and Weather Underground model forecast maps indicate that we will not see any precipitation until Tuesday anyway. That event may start as snow or mixed precipitation, but the current maps are calling for it to be mainly a rain event. That being the case, and the temperatures staying slightly higher than they have been, keep your waders and boats handy if you live in low lying areas.
My Weather Stick is surely smiling at the 47% relative humidity. All three of my electronic instruments forecast fair weather with rising barometric pressure. The high temperatures for today were 29.8°F, ???? and 32.2°F. The question marks replace the 59.0 recorded by the Min/Max Thermometer. I do not believe that and you should not either.
