In case if anyone did not find out yet, but CPC stuck a fork in this coming May.

Only topped out at 61. If it was going to be cloudy with fog and temps struggling to hit 60, it might as well rain. Mid to upper 60s expected tomorrow, but I feel that it won't happen at all.

And hopefully not continue to pay for it that way into the upcoming Summer.

If not worse. The advisory was extended to 11am.

Using my calculator based on this month's data, sunshine averaged at DAY for this January was approximately 13% (cloud cover averaging about 87%). Good riddance to Clouduary '17, a by-product of this double-dip mild Winter. With only one 1"> event observed (January 5th), this January's snowfall ends with 1.9".

And Mother Nature's budget is tight.

A prolonged period of wall-to-wall overcast skies begins today. Another crappy weekend is ahead. Despite TWC's forecast over the next 10 days and knowing the current pattern, I can see the weekend after this one being the same as well.

Ended up with 0.22" as of 8:56 pm. Topped out at 40. TWC and NWS hinting the first day with any sunshine of this month tomorrow, but I ain't holding my breath.

As expected, the NWS wins! Not just the third day in a row of wall-to-wall overcast skies, but also the third day of temps topping out at 39. With the way tomorrow is, the crappy first weekend of December is guaranteed. I have my doubts about Monday being better.

Once again wall-to-wall overcast skies and temps topping out at 39. The NWS has pretty much stuck its fork into tomorrow resulting in a crappy first weekend of this December while TWC alongside my local stations' meteorologists are still rooting for some sun. Talk about a forecast war! I really had a feeling these clouds were just screaming to become part of Sunday's storm system, anyway.

Wall-to-wall overcast skies with highs in the 30's all day to start December. Same thing expected tomorrow, despite the meteorologists on all my TV stations having a bit of a sun bias in their forecast graphics for tomorrow. Sure that December is the cloudiest month of the year, but please let's not hope that this December rivals against December 2014 for many areas.
