A fascinating weather forecast...

... courtesy of the National Weather Service.

I just checked the weather forecast before heading out into that rain on the edge of sleet that is our current present from the sky, and Saturday's forecast really made me smile - and not because I liked the forecasted weather. Let's see, the forecast is often wrong when it's presented by day - but this forecast for two days from now is specific to the hour!

As copied from the NWS forecast for Bedford, MA:
Saturday: A chance of snow before noon, then a chance of rain between noon and 1pm, then a chance of snow between 1pm and 4pm, then a chance of rain after 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 38. West wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%.
