Overnight there has been a change in the feel of the air. The humidity is up and the barometric pressure has fallen. There is a stillness that reminds one of the calm before the storm. We have had no rain overnight, and the cloud cover has increased to at least 72% and perhaps higher. The overnight forecast/actual temperatures and humidity are tabulated below:
Temperature: 40°F/33°F//36°F/28°F//34°F/28°F//32°F/30°F.
Relative Humidity: 57%/70%//69%/83%//78%/87%//96%/88%.
I do not think I need to comment on the inaccuracy here.
For today the Weather Underground model map predicts that rain will begin around 15:00 hours and continue overnight. The N.O.A.A. forecast has the rain starting early this morning (08:00 hours) and continuing all day with a cloud cover of 95%/96%/98% and 99% through the 17:00 hour. Their prediction for temperature and humidity are tabulated below:
Temperature: 32°F/42°F/47°F/46°F.
Relative Humidity: 100%/79%/71%/79%.
Here again, no comment is needed. I have noticed one thing, and that is with the NEXRAD radar, the storm seems to be reaching the Maine/New Hampshire border and breaking up. Once this high-pressure system moves offshore I think the storm will reach us.
My Weather Stick still points down in the morning, and I guess that will not change for the time being. All three of my electronic instruments predict that the barometric pressure will deteriorate, and indeed, it has overnight. The remote weather station currently predicts clouds, the Min/Max Thermometer predicts rain and the Weather Station Console predicts unsettled weather. Talk about confusion, we have it here. I think they will get together before the end of the day, because I think we are in for some wild weather, based on my data and the information I have been able to glean from the other sites I use for tools.
