Last night started out clear enough that the constellations were easily identified. During the overnight clouds moved in to obscure the stars, moon and sun. This does not fit with the overnight forecast set forth by N.O.A.A. last night. The forecast versus actual data was very close for both the temperature and relative humidity. That is a real switch.
For today N.O.A.A. and the Weather Underground model maps forecast a brief period of light scattered showers late this morning. The cloud cover is expected to increase to 85 percent by early afternoon, and then decrease to about 64% around sunset.
My Weather Stick points down. All three of my electronic instruments indicate deteriorating barometric pressure. They all predict different weather. The Weather Station Console forecasts partly cloudy skies. The Min/Max Thermometer predicts rain, and the remote wearer station forecasts cloudy skies. I think we have a slight chance for light showers, and it will be overcast all day. The best we can hope for is a dismal day.

Comparative data for the overnight.
Temperature: 38°F/39°F//34°F/33°F//31°F/30°F//29°F/31°F.
Relative Humidity: 67%/67%//75%/74%//78%/79%//88%/80%.
There were only slight differences between the actual and forecast temperature and relative humidity data overnight. This was a much better job than usual.
Forecast data for today.
Temperature: 27°F/38°F/44°F/43°F.
Relative Humidity: 92%/70%/60%/62%
Maybe this data will be as good as last night's data.
