Yes, by 17:00 it was raining, although we have had some very light showers all afternoon. They were scattered as well, since I saw some in Augusta as well as Auburn as I traveled around today. The cloud cover predication was correct, although you might have seen something less than 100% in your area. The temperature and relative humidity data forecast/actual are posted next:
Temperature: 45°F/47°F//46°F/48°F//47°F/44°F//46°F/42°F:
Relative Humidity: 100%/91%//86%/90%//79%/88%//83/89%:
I do not know how they are getting closer to the actual readings with their projections, but N.O.A.A. does seem to be doing better in that regard.
Overnight N.O.A.A. predicts rain with a 100% cloud cover. It sounds like they are predicting a dismal stretch of weather The predicted temperature and relative humidity data is tabulated next:
Temperature: 44°F/43°F/43°F/42°F:
Relative Humidity: 85%/92%/94%/92%:
I am very happy with my outdoor wood boiler. It is keeping the house warm, and due to the warmer than normal weather it is not eating as much wood as it could.
My Weather Stick points down, and with 91% humidity there is enough said. Here is the unusual part. All three of my electronic instruments are predicting improving barometric pressure (it is already high) and fair skies. I wonder why it is raining like it is. The barometric pressure is above 30.19 inches of Hg, and it is raining as it is. I will stick with N.O.A.A. on this one and suggest that we may well see quite a bit of rain overnight.
