It's Metals Day!

70 degrees and overcast.

It's been raining, off and on, for days and we certainly won't need to water flowerbeds or lawns for a while!


My favorite "rain gauge" - the pond at the foot of Grant Hill.


From WKTV: "Tuesday, we'll still be under the influence of that upper level system. Fortunately, it will be slowly sliding away though. This should mean less in the way of showers and storms Tuesday. Still, we need to keep the chance in the forecast, especially north and east, where a few heavier showers are still possible (mainly in the Adirondacks). We'll catch a break for the first half of Wednesday. As we slide into Wednesday night and Thursday though, believe it or not, a nor'easter type system may spin up along the East Coast. While the bulk of this will miss us to the east, we should still see some showers and thunderstorms as yet another storm system in the upper atmosphere develops."

No Perseid watching this morning: perhaps tomorrow.
