We have had gentle rain all day, and that has been combined with fog. The temperature did not change more than five degrees, and the sky has remained overcast, making it a dark, dank, dismal day all the way around. N.O.A.A. certainly got this one right. The temperature and relative humidity data are posted in the next table for your information:
Temperature: 41°F/41°F//45°F/43°F//48°F/44°F//49°F/45°F:
Relative Humidity: 92%/92%//89%/93%//89%/93%//89/93%:
The temperature predictions were very close to the actual readings recorded here. The relative humidity readings were very stable at 93%, and that was 4% higher than the predicted readings. All in all that is not a very bad result.
N.O.A.A. and the weather underground model forecast map indicate that the rain will continue into tomorrow, and the cloud cover will remain at or near 100%. The temperature and relative humidity predictions for the overnight hours are tabulated next:
Temperature: 45°F/45°F/45°F/44°F:
Relative Humidity: 100%/100%/96%/100%:
We are seeing very little change in any of these parameters from the forecast level or the actual recorded data.
The Weather Stick points down, and with rain, fog and 93% relative humidity should we be surprised at that. All three of the electronic instruments have now realized that we are having some inclement weather. They indicate deteriorating barometric pressure and unsettled weather. From what I can see (or not see) we seem to be in for more rain and inclement weather. Let us hope that this does not turn to snow or we will have some problems. We will get what we will get.
