Despite the predictions by N.O.A.A, we have not had any precipitation here. The cloud cover, when I went outside, was significantly less than the predicted 94%. The barometric pressure has deteriorated since last night, but it has not triggered the Weather Station Console to change its forecast. That may come later. The temperature and relative humidity data for the overnight period is detailed next::
Temperature: 34°F/36°F//31°F/34°F//30°F/34°F//29°F/33°F:
Relative Humidity: 96%/72%//88%/71%//88%/75%//92/74%:
The temperature for the overnight was slightly higher than the predictions by N.O.A.A., but not more than three or four degrees. The relative humidity differed significantly from that forecast by N.O.A.A. They will keep trying to predict the future, and I will continue to compare their predictions to reality for our area.
The National Weather Service (N.O.A.A.) is calling for us to have some light, scattered, mixed precipitation during the day with the cloud cover forecast to be 85%/80%/74%/ and 72%. It will be interesting to see how this forecast compares to reality. The temperature and relative humidity forecast is detailed next:
Temperature: 31°F/38°F/43°F/41°F:
Relative Humidity: 81%/56%/45%/45%:
If the predicted temperatures reflect reality, then the precipitation, if we have any, should be rain. I am not convinced that we will have any precipitation.
My Weather Stick points slightly down, indicating that we have slightly lower humidity than we have been in the morning. There does not seem to be any agreement among my electronic instruments. My Weather Station Console forecasts improving barometric pressure with fair skies. The Min/Max Thermometer forecasts deteriorating barometric pressure with unsettled skies, and the remote weather station indicates deteriorating barometric pressure with cloudy skies. Which of these instruments has it right? From what I can see the stratocumulus clouds have moved back in, we are now mostly cloudy to overcast and the temperature is rising. All this indicates that we are in for some unsettled weather, and a possibility of some precipitation (I still doubt it).
