Weathercasting ...

... an inexact science.

This morning when I got up, I thought I'd check out the local forecast to plan out my day and the timing of the Penster stroll. Turned on The Weather Channel, just in time for Local on the 8s.

Current temperature - 68. Sunny. Local radar - big blob of rain slowly headed in the general direction of my house over the previous 3 hours, but not quite close enough to show up on the close in radar. Afternoon forecast? Abundant sunshine! HUH?

So I watched the Local on the 8s over the next couple of hours. Now that the storms are almost upon us, The Weather Channel has updated its forecast to "isolated thunderstorms with 30% chance of rain".

*chuckle* Great timing, guys!
