#MEwx Seasonal temperatures, snow tonight, w Winter Weather Watch and how Rainbows help you predict weather

Good morning Augusta.

I’ve put up an Ambient WS 5000 weather station where you can view real time weather readings from my location online by clicking here.

We’re under a Winter Weather Watch, posted in the post preceding this one. Ya better read it folks.

This morning we have partly sunny skies with highs in the mid 30s. Winds are light and variable.

Tonight we’ll have mostly cloudy conditions with a 50 percent chance of snow. Lows in the mid 20s with light and variable winds.

We didn’t receive any rain or snow here over the past 24  hours. 

The  wind is Northeast between  2.5 MPH and 4.5 MPH.

The Relative pressure is 29.50, the Absolute pressure is 29.30 and falling with a weather graphic indicating sun, clouds and possible rain.

Augusta’s humidity is 58%, the  outdoor temperature is 25.7°F, the dew point is 12.6°F and the wind chill is 25.7°F.

Visibility is  10.0 Miles / 16.1 Kilometers with mostly cloudy skies again today.

The UV index is 0 placing the average person at low risk and the solar radiation reading is 50.7W/m2. Sunrise is 6:31 AM, sunset is 5:16 PM, moonrise is 7:32 AM and Moonset is 7:07 PM. The moon is Waxing Crescent and is 2% illuminated. We’ll have 10 hours 46 minutes of daylight today. The next Full Moon is on March 9 with our next new moon being on March 21, 2023 .

 

Here’s one about Rainbows that is very similar to the one about “Red Sky” in the morning.

“Rainbow in the morning sailor’s warning; rainbow at night sailor’s delight.”

This proverb is similar to the “Red sky at night…” one, but rather than looking at the sky as a whole, you’re focusing on a unique weather phenomenon: the rainbow. Since rainbows are always on the opposite side of us from the sun, they appear in the west in the morning, and the east in the evening. A rainbow will always be in the location of rain, so a morning rainbow means precipitation in the west (likely approaching your location), and an evening rainbow means precipitation in the east (likely heading away from your location). Since fair weather often follows a rain shower, night rainbows delight sailors.
