I only have one year of data, but on this date last year the high temperature was 20.6°F. Therefore, at 51.6°F we have a new high temperature record for this date. The cloud cover has gone from cirrus, to cirrostratus, to altostratus, to stratus. There were occasional breaks of sunshine throughout the day. For the rest of the forecast for today N.O.A.A. was correct.
For the overnight N.O.A.A. predicts fog rolling and around 04:00 tomorrow morning. Further, they predict that the temperature will not fall below freezing overnight.
My Weather Stick points down. All three of my electronic instruments forecast continued deteriorating barometric pressure. Two of the instruments are forecasting rain, and the remote weather station forecasts overcast conditions. If this looks familiar it should because It is exactly the same situation that I had this morning. Based on all this data and the Weather Underground model forecast maps I think we will have a relatively warm but overcast night.

Comparative data for today.

As you can see the N.O.A.A. temperature forecast data and the actual data were close. The relative humidity forecast was worse than terrible. Somehow, someone input some bad data.
Forecast data for the overnight.

At least for the overnight we are not dealing with 0% relative humidity.
