From the mid-fifties and high forties to the mid to upper twenties the temperature has fallen. We have gone from late summer to early winter in a heartbeat. We had no precipitation today, therefore we can accept the N.O.A.A. forecast for that. The Weather Underground model map also had it correct. I would estimate the cloud cover in the low to mid-forty percent range. The data for the temperature and relative humidity are tabulated next:
Temperature: 40°F/34°F//46°F/44°F//49°F/51°F//41°F/44°F:
Relative Humidity: 76%/84%//58%/69%//50%/55%//52/64%:
Neither the temperature nor the relative humidity forecasts were very close to the actual recorded data. N.O.A.A. missed the mark on these.
Overnight N.O.A.A. predicted no precipitation with the cloud cover from 31%, to 37%, to 43% and finally to 49% by 04:00 hours. The Weather Underground also predicted no precipitation for the overnight according to the model maps. The temperature and relative humidity predictions are detailed next:
Temperature: 38°F/34°F/32°F/30°F:
Relative Humidity: 73%/85%/92%/96%:
The air can only hold so much moisture at a given temperature, so if the absolute quantity of moisture in the air does not change and the temperature goes down the relative humidity goes up. That seems to be what is being predicted here.
My Weather Stick points down, it is in a position that does not seem to be changing. The Weather Station Console and Min/Max Thermometer forecast fair skies and improving barometric pressure. The remote weather station predicts improving barometric pressure, but with cloudy skies. We will see about that in the morning.
