Some rain is in the forecast, starting as early as tonight. The WunderMap feature on
w under ground dot com has some new features, helpful for hourly forecasting: Future hourly settings for radar, satellite cloud cover, and several others, including tornado. It seems to display changes every 2-3 hours, which would follow the NWS reports in many areas. I will use it tonight (if I can) when rain is imminent.
• Observations Feb ΙΙΙ MMX11
dayday ∑ O.87 inches rain since 4 AM. 4 hundredths in the past hour. 13 hundredths in the last 15 minutes. Later...0.69 inches The Anti-matter cloud is working well.

btw ∑ is the Greek and Mathematical symbol sigma for Sum, or Sum Total. In case you're wondering about the missing 1 hundredth of an inch in the totals above, it evaporated! Š actually, it rained a slight amount around 4 AM, if you could even measure 0.01 inch of rain.

Feb 7th 2012 It appears we need to update yesterday's forecast. Click Here. It rained 0.11 in. and the overnight low was 9° higher than forecasted. Also, even the Weather Underground Best Forecast showed a 10% chance of rain at 6 AM—when it surprisingly rained! Must be oneoutof ten is better than none, as shown on yesterday's 3:10 PM NWS forecast above.
The rain fell slow, down on all the roofs of uncertainty
I thought of you and the years and all the sadness fell away from me
And did you know....

Perhaps Princess Glaciera will return soon, at least by Saturday, Feb 11th.
I come at night and leave before Sunrise...
You will listen, this time.

There are conflicting forecasts between WU Best Forecast and NWS for tonight.
2 AM Friday Morning Update
There were conflicting forecasts earlier. That has changed, as all weather forecasts and forecasters do. I went to bed, very early...with the chickens...as is the expression for rural people living rural lives with rural livestock. But I am not rural— justa cosmopolite hiding in a 'rural mural'.

WU: Overcast with a chance of rain. Low of 41°F. Winds from the ESE at 5-10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.
