I stayed up til midnight to gauge the forecast "rain event accompanied by high winds". We were forecast to see the "leading band of showers" begin in late afternoon, followed by "rapidly intensifying conditions" and "possibly see local cells of very active weather". These conditions were "expected to continue and fluctuate across The Maritimes" until Suday evening", when the "worst would be over."

Well, it started to piddle a bit at midnight and there was a slight breeze. I got up at 3 and it was raining pretty good, a bit of a breeze, and it was very warm and very humid. I closed the windows and put on the AC.

She's raining a clip right now and the wind is about 5kph... forecast to be as high as 15kph and forecast to get another 40mm until light showers at 3PM (ADT).

Now, I ain't complainin that we ain't takin a hit, but I am complainin about the TV and radio weather-twits scarin little old ladies like me mum just for advertising dollars. I have been watching this storm for days and it was never expected to be a particularly bad storm for us... just for TV and radio ratings.
