Pay attention to your cat's behavior. Not just because you love the little furball, either—their little idiosyncracies could be clues about coming weather. 

According to Time, NPR found  H.H.C. Dunwoody's book, Weather Proverbs, where Dunwoody listed folklore about animals predicting the weather through their various doings. Cats in particular could be cuddly, occasionally anti-social prophets:

When cats sneeze it is a sign of rain.

Perhaps a cat should predict how long winter will last as opposed to a groundhog that may or may not be fumbled by a very tall mayor of a very large city.
