Terrific Thursday Morning
Good Morning Augusta.
This morning it is clear. High of 84F. Winds from the South at 5 to 15 mph.
Tonight it will be Clear. Low of 57F. Winds less than 5 mph.
The readings outside at this moment taken from my own instruments are:
a relative humidity of 75% with a Dew Point of 66.1º F.
The temperature is 74.7ºF.
Presently we have very mild Northwest winds between 0.0 MPH and 2.7 MPH.
Our Barometric pressure is 30.09/HPA 1018.9 and rising with a weather
graphic indicating sun.
UV is 3 out of 16, sunset will be at 8:22 PM with Moon Rise at 12:14 p.m.
Eastern Daylight Time, and the moon phase is Last Quarter.

We had no precipitation overnight in this area.
Visibility is 10.0 miles / 16.1 kilometers with a beautiful ceiling.
Ready for do-it-yourself weather predicting? Long before meteorologists had
sophisticated technology to help them predict the weather, people made
forecasts based on their observations of the sky, animals, and nature.
Many of the traditional sayings they used, called proverbs, are accurate.
Try out some old-fashioned forecasting—that still works today!
The higher the clouds, the finer the weather.
If you spot wispy, thin clouds up where jet airplanes fly, expect a spell of
pleasant weather.
Keep an eye, however, on the smaller puff clouds (cumulus), especially if
it's in the morning or early afternoon. If the rounded tops of these clouds,
which have flat bases, grow higher than the one cloud's width, then there's
a chance of a thunderstorm forming.
Clear Moon, frost soon.
When the night sky is clear, Earth's surface cools rapidly—there is no cloud
cover to keep the heat in. If the night is clear enough to see the Moon and
the temperature drops enough, frost will form. Expect a chilly morning!
When clouds appear like towers, the Earth is refreshed by frequent showers.
When you spy large, white clouds that look like cauliflower or castles in
the sky, there is probably lots of dynamic weather going on inside. Innocent
clouds look like billowy cotton, not towers. If the clouds start to swell
and take on a gray tint, they're probably turn into thunderstorms. Watch
out!
Rainbow in the morning gives you fair warning.
A rainbow in the morning indicates that a shower is west of us and we will
probably get it.
Ring around the moon? Rain real soon.
A ring around the moon usually indicates an advancing warm front, which
means precipitation. Under those conditions, high, thin clouds get lower and
thicker as they pass over the moon. Ice crystals are reflected by the moon's
light, causing a halo to appear.
Rain foretold, long last. Short notice, soon will pass.
If you find yourself toting an umbrella around for days "just in case," rain
will stick around for several hours when it finally comes. The gray overcast
dominating the horizon means a large area is affected. Conversely, if you
get caught in a surprise shower, it's likely to be short-lived.
Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky in morning, sailors take warning.
A reddish sunset means that the air is dusty and dry. Since weather in North
American latitudes usually moves from west to east, a red sky at sunset
means dry weather—good for sailing—is moving east. Conversely, a reddish
sunrise means that dry air from the west has already passed over us on their
way easy, clearing the way for a storm to move in.
