This morning dawned very bright with no clouds to be seen. The temperature has warmed quickly into the forties, and the wind has picked up as well. N.O.A.A. got the weather right, but the cloud cover seems to be much lower that the forecast. Right now (09:00 hours) the sun is shining brightly and the wind is light out of the north. The overnight temperature and relative humidity results are tabulated next.
Temperature: 31°F/36°F//33°F/33°F//31°F/30°F//32°F/27°F:
Relative Humidity: 58%/69%//61%/76%//53%/81%//56%/87%:
The temperature started out five degrees low and ended the overnight forecast five degrees high. I would guess that was because the cloud cover was less than the forecast allowing for more radiational cooling. The relative humidity was not even close to the forecast.
For today, the expectation is for no precipitation, and the cloud cover will decrease from 17% to13% to 9% to 8%. The sky looks clear to me. The projected temperature and relative humidity are detailed in the following table:
Temperature: 27°F/38°F/46°F/43°F:
Relative Humidity: 81%/51%/37%/41%:
It appears that N.O.A.A. predicts an absolutely delightful day.
My Weather Stick points slightly up, and with the relative humidity at 58% that response is appropriate. I might have expected it to be pointing up more, but this is all right. The electronic instruments are not quite in agreement. The Weather Station Console as well as the other two instruments forecast continued high pressure. The predominant weather is forecast to be mixed sun and clouds by the Weather Station Console and remote weather station. The Min/Max Thermometer forecasts rain. I hardly know who to believe at this point. Again, from what I see outside I surmise that we will have clear skies, light winds and moderate temperatures.
