We have had another one of our gray dismal days. We started out with frizzle, and now that has turned to fog. There just is not a great deal more to say about the day, other than N.O.A.A. did get the weather and cloud cover about right. The ice finally did melt in my rain gauge yielding the 0.08 inches of precipitation. The temperature and relative humidity (forecast v actual) are detailed in the table, which follows.
Temperature: 31°F/32°F//41°F/33°F//48°F/38°F//47°F/39°F:
Relative Humidity: 100%/91%//79%/91%//68%/90%///74%/91%:
Something, obviously, went wrong with the forecast for both the temperature and relative humidity. N.O.A.A. missed the mark on both of them. I wonder if they can get it right, since they calculated that the system would move faster than it did.
The cloud cover for tonight is still expected to be in the nineties, and we are forecast to have fog all night. The tabulation for the temperature and relative humidity forecast follows.
Temperature: 44°F/43°F/42°F/42°F:
Relative Humidity: 89%/96%/96%/89%:
The temperature is not expected to change very much due to the fog and cloud cover, and the relative humidity is expected to remain steady as well. My weather stick points down, trying to make a circle. The three electronic instruments are forecasting continued foul weather with deteriorating barometric pressure. My suspicion is the same. We can expect fog, overcast, little or no wind and a chance for light showers. The showers will be scattered, so whether you get one or not depends on your location and the location of the shower.
