#MEwx Warmeer temps with sun, clouds and rain. "Ring around the Moon" What's that really mean?
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.
This morning we have mostly cloudy skies with areas of fog. A slight chance of sprinkles, then isolated rain showers this afternoon. Highs in the mid 40s with Southwest winds around 10 mph gusting to 20 mph.
Tonight we’ll have partly cloudy conditions with isolated rain and snow showers during evening hours, then mostly clear after midnight. Lows in the lower 20s with Northwest winds around 10 mph with gusts up to 25 mph this evening.
We didn’t receive any rain or snow here over the past 24 hours.
The wind is North between 0.1 MPH and 2.7 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 99%, the outdoor temperature is 35.1°F, the dew point is 34.8°F and the wind chill is 35.2°F.

Ring around the moon? What’s that mean?
“A ring around the sun or moon, means that rain will come real soon.”
A ring around the sun or moon is caused by light from those bodies (light doesn’t come from the moon, but you get my drift…) passing through ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. These ice crystals have either been blown over the tops of high, approaching storm clouds, or from high cirrus clouds, which as we just learned, can be the first indication of an incoming low pressure system. So when you see a ring, prepare for precipitation.
