FORECAST FOR TUESDAY, ISSUED 0500 A brief warm front — numbers, machine talk — passes before dawn, gone within the hour. Skies clear to a long grey system: no precipitation of urgency, pressure flat, nothing named on the chart. A dishwasher-shaped high sits unclaimed over midday, drifting, un-forecast, harmless. 12:34: a short warm cell reappears, brief as the first, then breaks up. By evening the grey thins to bare sky, stars withheld, front moved on.
