Wet, windy and thought for the day

Good morning Augusta.

This morning it is overcast with rain, then thunderstorms and rain in the afternoon. Fog early. High of 52F. Breezy. Winds from the NNE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 100% with rainfall amounts near 1.0 in. possible.

Tonight it will be overcast with rain showers. Low of 45F. Winds from the NNE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 100% with rainfall amounts near 0.6 in. possible.

The readings from my own weather instruments are:

The humidity is  93% with a Dew Point of 44ºF, Temp is 46.1ºF with a wind chil of 32.6ºF.

Our wind direction is North Northwest between 13.1 MPH and 26.0 MPH.  

The Barometric pressure is 29.93 HPA 1013 and falling with a weather graphic indicating rain.

The UV rating is 0 out of 16, Sunrise is at 7:04 a.m. sunset is 5:41  PM and Moon Rise is at 6:39 a.m. EDT and the moon phase is  waning crescent.

For the pilots out there raw METAR readings are:

METAR KAUG 231053Z AUTO 02016G27KT 7SM -RA OVC007 08/07 A2991 RMK AO2 PK WND 02028/1038 CIG 005V011 SLP129 P0005 T00780067

Visibility is 7.0 miles / 11.3 kilometers with overcast conditions down to 700 ft / 213 m.

We had rain in the amount of 0.50 inches in the past 24 hours and it is definitely not done.

Thought for the day:

"If quitters never win, and winners never quit, who is the jerk who said "Quit while you're ahead."?"
