We did have plenty of light scattered showers today, just as the N.O.A.A. predicted. There were some around noon, and then around 15:00 hours. At least I have another stall clean. I also planted the last of the peppers. So I should get something out of my gardening. With any luck I hope to get some more tomatoes planted tomorrow.
The N.W.S. forecasts more of the same light scattered showers overnight. The cloud cover forecast appears to be a little lacking, and does not seem to support that (73%/57%/58%/59%). There are quite a few echoes moving in our direction on the NEXRAD regional composite radar, but they are in central New York State. They probably will not get here until tomorrow morning when things begin to bubble up again. The Weather Underground model forecast maps still say that Wednesday will be the pick of the week. Well, better one day than none.
My Weather Stick is expressionless due to the 73% relative humidity. All three of the digital instruments forecast foul weather with falling barometric pressure. We had outside high temperatures in the eighties while it remained in the seventies in the barn (82.5°F/86.9°F/73.6°F). My best guess is that we will have a calm night, but another active weather day tomorrow.

The N.W.S. correctly forecast the temperature AT ALL BUT 14:00 HOURS. They missed all four relative humidity forecasts. Sorry, I do not write them, I just read them.
