Wednesday, July 26, 2006


This morning began with cloud and fog, clearing to hazy sunshine with a humid SW wind. This mornings low was 15.8*C and our high was 22.9*C. At 8:25 pm the temperature was 20.5*C and the barometer read 101.6 kPa down .1 kPa from this morning.

There is still some uncertainy about the system that the CMC's GEM REG is showing for tomorrow. EC has basically called this model an outlier, while at the same time isssueing a special weather statement for tomorrow. Surface analysis still c shows it off our coast tomorrow, I guess time will tell.
