Changeable Weather

11:07 Weather Conditions:

73.6 degrees F and rising;
53% humidity and falling;
29.03" of Hg Pressure and steady;
0.0" of measurable rainfall in the last 24 hours;
3.4" of flow in the Cascades Brook;
Overcast skies;
1.5 MPH of fairly steady breeze (with a peak at 2.0 MPH);
LOW USFS Fire Danger Class.

It was weird. I got up and the rain gauge was reading zero, so I figured it lost the signal. When I went out to the road it was already dry, with few damp patches. Hmmm.... maybe it didn't rain that much. When I returned I went to the old fashioned rain water tube and it had a drop or two at the bottom but nothing measurable. So... despite the wind, the lightning, and the fury of last night's storm, in the end, pretty much no rain! Go figure!

As of 7:30 it was pleasant, at 10:30 a passing dark cloud and some hints of rain, then lighter at 11:00, and now dark and ominous again. All with the wind blowing. Anything is possible today!
