Whether the sky is 
or it's 
it is bound to be of interest to you and your garden.
So Raven, a confirmed "weather watcher", hopes that you enjoy this information, and find it valuable. And, whether virtual or real, may all of your days in your garden be 
HERE IS MOST CONSISTENTLY CORRECT VERSE FORECAST PARTICULARLY IN OCEAN, LAKE OR RIVER REGION:
Red sun in the morning / Sailor takes warning. Red sun at night / Sailors delight. / When the dew is on the grass / Rain will NEVER come to pass.
It's true that humidity at ground level has a strong relationship to that higher up in the atmosphere. When you see a heavy dew or frost in the morning, you can usually count on a good day.
If it's dry in the morning you can almost ALWAYS count on the sky feeling the ground need to be moistened a bit. And if the evening is still at night in the fall, you can almost always count on a Frost.
The prevailing wind in the region is a good omen. Look at the leaves on the trees around you. They naturally lie so they won't be ruffled by the wind. And if you can see the backs of the leaves in a strong breeze, rain will shortly be falling. And, if you can smell rain in the air, , rain is almost certain.
For, if you notice where, on the house, she makes her web, you can "forecast" the severity of the coming Winter. If the web is facing North, a fair Winter is in store, West, a Winter that's regular with some brief severve spots. And if it's made facing the South, better watch out and stock up on heavy Winter gear for the Winter will be bitter. And in all of the years, Raven has known "Charlotte", she has NEVER been wrong.
Wild things are much more sensitive than we to the changes in atmospheric pressure and their behaviour reflects it, in many cases turning them into living barometers. Probably the best long range weather forecaster is the large western herd animals. Out West come fall, when the they decide to descend from their mountain pastures. You know then that winter's only a couple days away.
Deer in the Northeast, do the same but are not as reliable. Migrating birds are another sign to get your winter gear ready. If the geese come early, be prepared for a long cold season.
Even domesticated hoofed animals "know" the weather. Whenever you see that the cows in the pasture lying down, rain is approaching shortly. And if they are up, and eating normally, sunshine is the order of the day.
Even the dreaded fire ants, can help with weather prediction. If the fire ants are out crawling around and being a general annoyance in the garden, all is well. But they minute they disappear ( and don't you wish they would) into the mound, here comes the rain.
And the Wooly Worm is famous in the South, for Winter weather predictions. The "fuzzier" the worm is, the colder the Winter.
And when the birds attack your feeders with a frenzy, batten down the hatches. A Tempest is churning.
