Very Foggy morning
Good Morning Augusta, its REALLY FOGGY outside this morning, slow down.
This morning it is partly cloudy. High of 72F. Winds from the NNE at 5 to 15
mph shifting to the South in the afternoon.
Tonight it will be partly cloudy, then mostly cloudy with a chance of rain.
Low of 45F. Winds from the SW at 5 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 30%.
The readings outside right now, taken from my own weather instruments:
a relative humidity of 82% with a Dew Point of 44.4ºF.
The temperature is 49.7ºF with no wind chill.
Presently we have Southeast winds between 1.3 mph and 3.7 mph.
Our Barometric pressure is 29.90 and falling with a weather graphic
indicating rain.
We had no precipitation overnight in this area.
Visibility is 3.0 miles with overcast down to 200 feet. It is darn foggy out
there this morning too.
Our current Moon Phase is
Waning Crescent, 2% of Full.
And, from the Farmer's Almanac:
For sky watchers in North America, April promises to be a spectacular month,
with opportunities to view four of the five naked eye planets in our Solar
System at the same time. Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and Saturn will be visible at
sunset for most of the month. A fifth visible planet, Mercury, will be
rising at dawn in the Northern Hemisphere, making it extremely difficult to
view in the glare of the rising Sun. Here's a brief look at how to find each
of this month's visible planets:
Venus – Along with Jupiter, Venus is currently one of the brightest objects
in the sky, and one of the first to become visible at dusk. You can find it
high in the western sky at nightfall.
Mars – The red planet reached opposition (it's best viewing location) in
March, and is still a sight to behold. It rises to the southeast at dusk
this month in the constellation Leo. It is brighter than Leo's brightest
star, Regulus, and can be differentiated by its reddish hue.
Jupiter – Our Solar System's largest planet will be sitting low on the
western horizon this month, getting ready to dip out of view. It's easy to
pick out because it is the brightest object in its vicinity.
Saturn – The ringed planet rises in the east near nightfall throughout the
month, reaching opposition (it's best viewing location) on April 15. Look
for it near Spica, the brightest star in the constellation Virgo.
