If the sky looks like anything, it looks like snow. The temperature is approaching the right area, the sky is overcast, the humidity is right and the barometric pressure is falling, therefore we could have some snow. There, I have said it! I found that the N.O.A.A. information had changed from this morning, and there may have been some scattered mixed precipitation in the area. We did not have any here, but it feels like we could. The cloud cover was 100% all afternoon, and that has not changed. The temperature and relative humidity comparisons between the forecast and actual data are tabulated next:
Temperature: 31°F/33°F//37°F/38°F//41°F/41°F//39°F/39°F:
Relative Humidity: 96%/91%//64%/84%//57%/70%//67/72%:
The temperature data could not get much closer, but the relative humidity data still leave something to be desired. Maybe they will get it right at N.O.A.A. yet.
For the overnight N.O.A.A. predicts snow, although I suspect it will be of the light variety if we have any at all. The cloud cover is expected to remain nearly complete, certainly above 95%. The temperature and relative humidity forecasts are detailed next for the overnight:
Temperature: 34°F/31°F/30°F/29°F:
Relative Humidity: 96%/88%/88%/92%:
This should prove to be interesting, if it is accurate.
My Weather Stick has finally moved off down to slightly down, and I blame the relative humidity for that. My Weather Station Console forecasts fair skies and improving relative humidity, (I do not believe it). The Min/Max Thermometer predicts unsettled weather with falling barometric pressure. The remote weather station forecasts clouds with deteriorating barometric pressure. I tend to think (something I probably should not do) that we may see some precipitation scattered around the are, and because of the temperature, it will not be rain. I have been known to be wrong, however.
