Some light sprinkles here right now, first we've had in awhile. Will have to see how much of those storms in Virginia and Delaware make it here. But I'll take whatever we get, it's better than nothing.

Well, they got that last forecast wrong, Sunday was the only measurable rain here (instead of the three rainy days in the forecast). But we might have a chance for something starting tonight...
Tonight: Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
Friday: Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.
Don't beat yourself up Bob. Weather will be what it wants to be.
This is basically all I ever use, it's the graphical 3-day that can be extended 2 more days. No words, No problem. When you open it the left edge is the time that you are viewing it. You can set your watch by the accuracy of the predicted time of wind directional changes. And who doesn't like vectors?
The directional change timing is extremely helpful for hunting purposes.National Weather Service
I looked at Sunday's weather on Saturday and early Sunday and the actual weather we had Sunday was exactly what was predicted in the graphics. I mainly viewed the chance of precip percentage graph and the green bar indicators that correspond to descriptions along the left side showing slight chance, chance and likely.
I make fun of my wife's Apps that she uses for weather and I call all of her annoying weather Apps, McWeather.

Yes, I do use that one for home. I love the dewpoint chart. It has caused me to cancel a day in the woods on occasion.Don't beat yourself up Bob. Weather will be what it wants to be.

PS: In that last post, I was speaking of Monday. Last Sunday it rained during our time for the trip (New Gretna forecast). I always change the location to where I'll be, not where I sit at the moment. See Boyd's post above where it was drizzling all day for him on Sunday. I got mostly the same.

I don't use that graphical forecast normally but checked it for my area after Scott's post. Said we were going to get over 1/4" of rain overnight and even said we would have thunder starting at 10:00 PM. And we actually got... nothing more than a light sprinkle that isn't even measurable. Maybe we'll still get something? The graphical forecast showed about 3/4" rain by the end of today, we would need a big storm to still reach that. This looks a lot like the earlier pattern with bands offshore flowing Northeast and hitting New York/Long Island but not us.
But, looking on the bright side (literally, as the clouds seem to be thinning) having finished my morning chores, I'd heading out for a walk!
