(No count conducted today)


Weather:
The heavier rains didn't start until late morning but there was enough mist, pop-up showers and poor visibility to keep me from starting the count. No data was collected today.

Predictions:
Tomorrow ought to be a full day. Rain showers should peter out this evening. I'm hoping we aren't stuck with morning fog blocking visibility. If there is fog, it should be burning off by mid to late morning. "Broad cyclonic flow" could bring some gusty winds during the count period. Temperatures could climb into the mid fifties, although, with a stronger breeze predicted from the west southwest it could feel more like mid forties. I expect a mix of sun and clouds by midday and hopefully a few more migrants.
