We seem to be moving from a stretch of delightful, but cool weather to warmer temperatures with a great deal of cloud cover. All day these clouds have been moving in. As I remember, the longer the inclement weather takes to get here, the longer it will take for it to leave. This system seems to be taking its own sweet time. We have not had any rain today, but the cloud cover is much higher than it was forecast to be. The temperature and relative humidity data collected at this station are compared with the forecast data next.
Temperature: 24°F/22°F//40°F/34°F//50°F/42°F//47°F/42°F:
Relative Humidity: 88%/86%//55%/84%/46%/69%//53%/70%:
Neither the temperature nor the relative humidity forecasts were particularly close to the actual recorded data by my weather station.
There is no precipitation predicted for this area, though there may be some north of us, and it will be of the frozen variety. The cloud cover is expected range from the mid-sixties to about 81% by morning. The temperature and relative humidity forecasts are tabulated next.
Temperature: 42°F/40°F/38°F/37°F:
Relative Humidity: 73%/79%/82%/82%:
My Weather Stick points down. The electronic instruments do not seem to be able to agree at all. The Weather Station Console predicts deteriorating barometric pressure and partly cloudy skies. The Min/Max Thermometer predicts partly cloudy skies, but the barometric pressure is forecast to improve. The remote weather station comes in with fair skies and a steady barometer. With all this indecision the best I can come up with is unsettled weather, cloudy skies, light winds and somewhat warmer temperatures. In other words I have no clue what the weather will do overnight.
