The clear sky we had yesterday afternoon has turned gray with clouds again. The barometer reached another high for the month overnight at 30.43 in Hg. Despite the high pressure, we again have clouds and the threat of inclement weather. N.O.A.A. and the Weather Underground model map had the predominant weather correct again, but I fear the cloud cover forecast was far below the actual cloud cover. The comparative data (forecast v actual) for temperature and relative humidity are tabulated next:
Temperature: 33°F/26°F//28°F/25°F//23°F/22°F//19°F/20°F:
Relative Humidity: 43%/70%//48%/81%//54%/84%//67%/87%:
The evening started out with a difference of seven degrees, but that difference was reduced to one to two degrees by morning. The relative humidity forecast was not even close to the actual data recorded by my weather station.
For today, the N.W.S. forecasts no precipitation, and the cloud cover is supposed to be 24%/19%14% and13%. Outside my house right now I am seeing significantly more that the 24% that was forecast. The forecast data for temperature and relative humidity are tabulated below:
Temperature: 17°F/35°F/46°F/43°F:
Relative Humidity: 84%/48%/31%/35%:
I am not sure if N.O.A.A. has this one right at all. We will need to wait until this afternoon to determine that.
My Weather Stick points down in response to the relative humidity being over 85%. The Weather Station Console and remote weather station forecast fair skies. The Min/Max Thermometer forecasts a mix of sun and clouds. The Min/Max Thermometer predicts the barometric pressure will deteriorate, as does the remote weather station. The only electronic instrument at this location predicting improving barometric pressure is the Weather Station Console. I expect to see some unsettled weather today as a result of what I see outside.
