It was about the third time I had checked the weather updates that day, and I was getting impatient. Usually, the weather update on our local news channels pretty consistent, but today it kept going back and forth. The weather satellite showed an ambiguous situation, and the meteorologist could not decide what to make of it.
I wasn't just watching the weather updates for my health. I had an important reason to watch them. It wasn't just an ordinary outing either – it was a very special day for me. It was my first anniversary with my girlfriend, and I wanted everything to be perfect. I had a special day planned out for us – a trip the beach. Although it was only March, it was unseasonably warm. I figured that, if we could have an afternoon without rain, we would have one of the best days of our relationship so far.
Nonetheless, the weather live updates kept showing different things. One minute, they would say that there was only a 20% chance of rain, the next minute they would say that it was almost certain. Part of the problem was that there were two different weather channels, and they used different weather stations. One of them used a weather station on the coast just north of where we were going. Another used a station on the same latitude, but about a mile or two inland. Because weather out on the coast is so variable, we knew neither of these weather updates was completely certain. I could not begin to guess if it would rain or not.
By the time we were ready to leave, the weather updates looked like it was more likely to be sunny than rainy. Although I was not sure, I figured it was worth the risk. We headed out to try to make an early day of it so that we could beat the rain.
Although the weather updates haven't always been accurate in the past, usually they have been pretty good. This time, they held up. It was sunny all afternoon and only got cloudy towards evening time. By the time the rain started to fall, we were already on our way back from the coast having enjoyed one of the best days that I can remember. It is always thrilling when you get to go to the ocean early in the year and don't have to wait until the middle of the spring.
