We have been in and out of the clouds all day, and right now, we are out of them. The nighttime sky looks like a piece of black velvet with a bright light behind it showing the stars and constellations. The air is crisp with a real feel of late autumn. N.O.A.A. and the Weather Underground model map got the daytime predominant weather correct, but they seem to have missed the mark on the cloud cover. I have tabulated the temperature and relative humidity data comparison next:
Temperature: 17°F/21°F//35°F/32°F//46°F/46°F//43°F/40°F:
Relative Humidity: 84%/87%//48%/77%//31%/43%//35%/46%:
Once again, the temperature forecast data is very close to the actual temperature recorded by my weather station. The relative humidity, however, missed the mark, with the exception of the 07:00 hours report.
N.O.A.A. and the Weather Underground maps predict no precipitation overnight, and the cloud cover expected to be 36%/33%/24% then rising to 41% by 04:00 hours. The proposed temperature and relative humidity levels are expected to be as follows:
Temperature: 35°F/31°F/29°F/26°F:
Relative Humidity: 54%/66%/72%/71%:
Once again, we will find out about the accuracy of the forecast tomorrow morning.
My Weather Stick points slightly down as a result of the 84% relative humidity. I wonder if it will point up if the relative humidity is in the 30% range overnight? The Weather Station Console and Min/Max Thermometer indicate improving barometric pressure, but the remote weather station predicts steady pressure. Both the Weather Station Console and remote weather station forecast fair skies, while the Min/Max Thermometer forecasts mixed conditions with some fair skies and some clouds. My own guess is that we will not have any precipitation, it will remain below freezing, the winds will remain calm to light and variable and the clouds may build toward morning.
