The White Spots Are Rain at about 15:00 Hours This Afternoon!!
The sky is still overcast, and my lights keep blinking, as if we are going to lose power. We may not, but it is threatening. The storm warning on my Weather Station Console has stopped flashing, and the other two electronic instruments are showing rainy skies also. The three of them are still forecasting deteriorating barometric pressure. The Weather Stick points down, and with the new high relative humidity of 94% that is expected. Right now it is not raining, and that is the first time I have been able to state that since Sunday. This storm has brought our total for the month of November to 2.71 inches of precipitation.
N.O.A.A. did get the predominant weather correct as well as the cloud cover. The temperature and relative humidity data are tabulated next:
Temperature: 44°F/46°F//48°F/49°F//53°F/53°F//54°F/55°F:
Relative Humidity: 100%/93%//100%/94%//86%/94%//80/93%:
The temperature forecast v actual data compare very well. The relative humidity data comparison is not quite as good, but it is not bad.
For the overnight N.O.A.A. does not predict any great changes in either temperature or relative humidity. Their forecast is for the rain to turn to occasional scattered showers until about 01:00 when there may be some fog rolling in. The sky will remain overcast or nearly so for the overnight as well. The projected temperature and relative humidity are tabulated next:
Temperature: 51°F/50°F/51°F/49°F:
Relative Humidity: 86%/86%/93%/93%:
I will weigh in on the side of hope, in that I hope that the rain is over for a while. We do need to dry out a bit or we will have a lot of water in the wetlands, streams and rivers going into winter. That could produce some problems next spring.
