Winslow Patoka River is below its banks with the chance of rain but none since last Friday and that was a hit or miss, depending on where you live. Norm and I were out in Ar- thur after getting some wood for winter and as we came back home, we drove through a small rainfall near Num- ber 7 Road and nowhere else. Friday morning, we heard that Petersburg had a downpour for a short while and Winslow had nothing. This is what hap- pens, you may have rain in your area and nothing in another area. Last week- end, the 7th, 8th and 9th, the humidi- ty was here and the temps were in the 80s with high 60s at night, but then the 70s and high 50s came in the first half of the week. Windows were opened again. Thursday, the 13th, was a cooler day then all week, with temps in the low 70s, with a cooling wind all day long. The weekend is supposed to be hot, in the high 80s, and humidity is back for most of the week ahead. So, the air will be turned on again. Flowers can be seen in quite a few yards and some are plentiful, with all types of flowers and some have just a few different types. My corner yard has the rosebushes that are in bloom with what I call our 4th of July red flow- er that just bloomed. The pink Phyllis flower that has two blooms, the daylilies have shown their yellow bloom and the large patch of tall flowers are beginning to bloom and they are the Black-eyed Susans. The mulberry tree has sweet blackberries and the ground cover of wild strawberries are big now. At night, the fireflies are twinkling like Christ- mas lights on our corner lot and across the road, there are more this year than last year. Have you all seen them yet? If I'm correct, the St. Louis Blues hockey team has just won the Stanley Cup by beating the Bos- ton Bruins 4-1 in game 7 on June 13. Congrats to the team for your success. July is full of events that will contin- ue each weekend, with the Otwell 4th of July, Clog the Patoka, Winslow River- side Flea Market, benefit for River Har- bin and his new heart, Pike County 4- H Fair and Pike County's Got Talent. We hope your Father's Day was real exciting with your loved ones and your gift from your child was given in love for you. Soon there will be meetings for the Winslow Community Festival, which will be on Sept. 21. It will be the 14th year the community will get togeth- er and have loads of fun, with many groups that put on different games, music, blow-ups, food and a lot more for all to enjoy. Then when it gets dark enough, we will all enjoy the Light-Up Winslow Parade, where every entry has some kind of lights and anyone can en- ter. Just come and line-up or come and listen to all the "wows" and "ahhs." As the lights begin to dim on this week's ramblings, I hope you all keep an eye on family and friends. Slow down and see all the wonders in your neck of the woods. Then, as I always tell you, smile, wave and say Hi to ev- eryone you see this week. Have a great summer. ro percent chance of rain today. Some apps lump the day and night together and will require a touch or a click to see the break in anticipated activity be- tween the day and night. One needs to know what a weather app's definition of the "probability of precipitation" is. At one time, there was a schism in the meteorological commu- nity about this definition. Some fore- casters, if a drop of rain were to fall an- ywhere within the forecast area, would issue a 100 percent probability. Others, if rain were certain to fall over 25 per- cent of the forecast area, would issue a 25 percent probability. Today, the breakdown is usually a mixture of the amount of area the rain is anticipated to cover mixed with the certainty of pre- cipitation falling. By definition, multiply the two together to get the probability. However, some forecasters use differ- ent methods. Listening to their discus- sions or reading them will give a clear- er outlook. Clouds are tricky. They tend to ob- scure the sun from time to time, and that can mess up forecasted temper- atures quite a bit, particularly in the spring and fall. Temperatures fall rap- idly on clear nights and increase quick- ly on clear days. Clouds moderate tem- peratures quite a bit. Partly sunny or partly cloudy days are signs that tem- peratures may not act quite like your app predicts. For frontal passages, tim- ing can fail a forecast quickly. Frontal passage early in the evening can clear a sky out for falling temperatures when the forecast might have called for that passage a few hours later. Finally, let common sense prevail. If one truly believes the weather forecast is always wrong, one should change the source of the weather information. If one does, keep in mind that a forecaster has a limited number of hours in a day. A forecaster can use that time to make a really aesthetically pleasing forecast with lots of pretty graphics and easy to use interfaces. A forecaster could also pore through models and data trying to get Friday's high temperature just right. One forecaster will be more ac- curate than the other. Until next time, forecast ugly.
