This is not a pretty morning and it is expected to be this way all weekend.  There was 0.02 in of rain in my gauge at 8 AM, and light rain will continue most of our Saturday and into Sunday.  At least there aren’t any strong winds in the forecast.  October is coming to an end and it has seemed more like November.  Next weekend we will be falling back to Eastern Standard time and I’m happy about that.  I hate it being dark at 8 AM.

Our 9:15 AM temperature is 41°F (5°C), the humidity is 91%, and skies are overcast and the rain has stopped for now.  Winds are from the north at 7 mph and the pressure is 20.82 in (1009.8 mb) and steady.  Visibility is 7 miles and the dew point is 40°F (40°C).   Yesterday’s high was 51°F (11°C) and the overnight low was 40°F (4°C).  Averages for this date are 54°F / 39°F.  The record high for this date is 75°F (24°C) set in 1984 and the record low is 19°F (-7°C) set in 1976.
