We reached our low temperature at about 19:00 hours last night. Since then the sky cover has gone to about 100%. The temperature has continued to rise also. N.O.A.A. got the predominant weather and cloud cover right. In other words we had no rain, and the cloud cover certainly increased to about 100%. As usual the comparative and forecast data will be found at the end of this report.
For today N.O.A.A. predicts light rain showers for this morning and steadier rain for this afternoon. The cloud cover is expected to be 100%. This is not a forecast for a pretty day.
Once again, my Weather Stick points down in response to the 82% relative humidity. Two of my electronic instruments forecast rain with deteriorating barometric pressure. The remote weather station that has its sensor In the barn, forecasts mixed sun and clouds, also with deteriorating barometric pressure. From my vantage point it appears that we will have a rainy day. At least it is midweek, and not the weekend when we have so much to do.

Comparative data for the overnight.

Relative Humidity: 63%/87%//81%/89%//43%/61%//78%/56%.
As you can see the N.O.A.A. temperature forecast data and the actual data were close with the exception of the first reading last night. The relative humidity forecast was back to being terrible.
Forecast data for today.
Temperature: 28°F/34°F/39°F/38°F.

As unsettled as the weather is, I have to wonder how close this data will be to the actual readings.
