The wind has picked up, and it is still raining. The overnight cloud cover remained at 100% as indicated by the amount of rain we had. The comparison of forecast/actual temperature and relative humidity are detailed next:
Temperature: 55°F/53°F//53°F/60°F//54°F/62°F//59°F/62°F:
Relative Humidity: 100%/94%//100%/95%//100%/94%//100/92%:
The temperature rose much higher than it was expected to, but the predictions really were not very far off. Likewise, the predictions for the relative humidity were a bit higher than the actual, but I do not believe that my weather station will reach 100%, so the forecast data is probably accurate. The Weather Underground model map and N.O.A.A. forecast that the rain will continue for a while, and then taper off to showers. The cloud cover is forecast to decrease from 96% to 89% to 83% and finally to 74% by 16:00 hours this afternoon. The forecast temperature and humidity for today are detailed for 07:00, 10:00, 13:00 and 16:00 hours in the table that follows:
Temperature: 60°F/63°F/64°F/60°F:
Relative Humidity: 100%/80%/69%/67%:
It does appear that we are in for another rainy day.
My Weather Stick (surprise, surprise) points down. With the rain and relative humidity, is anyone surprised at that? My Weather Station Console forecasts a storm warning with deteriorating barometric pressure. The other two electronic instruments forecast rain with deteriorating barometric pressure. I repeat myself, it does appear that we are in for another rainy day. Not only that, but we seem to have developed some significant wind to go along with that rain.
