The weather is starting dark, damp and dismal this morning. We have the fog that was predicted and heavy cloud cover as well. How dark is the inside of a pocket? If you look outside now (06:12) you will know. It appears that N.O.A.A. got this half of the forecast right. The temperature and relative humidity comparison table follows.
Temperature: 44°F/40°F//43°F/43°F//42°F/43°F//42°F/42°F:
Relative Humidity: 89%/92%//96%/93%//96%/93%///89%/93%:
This is the best performance I have seen from N.O.A.A. in quite a while. Good job folks.
For today N.O.A.A. forecasts scattered light showers for the area. The cloud cover is expected to remain in the low nineties to mid-eighties. The temperature and relative humidity forecast follows.
Temperature: 43°F/49°F/54°F/53°F:
Relative Humidity: 89%/86%/83%/80%:
These temperatures are expected to be well above normal, but from the look of the Weather Underground model map this may be the last of the above normal temperatures we have for a while.
My Weather Stick points down, and with 93% relative humidity that is no surprise at all. Two of the electronic instruments predict deteriorating barometric pressure with inclement weather. The remote weather station predicts clouds and deteriorating barometric pressure. On the basis of the deteriorating barometric pressure and cloud cover, I would expect some inclement weather during the day, some light winds and another dismal day.
