Today the sky remained overcast. Toward sunset, there were a few breaks in the clouds, so the N.O.A.A. forecast of 64% cloud cover was probably correct. We had no additional showers this morning or this afternoon, so the N.O.A.A. prediction of the predominant weather was correct also.
Looking at the N.O.A.A. prediction and the Weather Underground model maps it appears that we are in a strip that will have no precipitation overnight. There may be some freezing precipitation just north of us and some liquid precipitation just a little south of us. We can expect the cloud cover to remain in the range of 70 and 85%..
My Weather Stick continues to points down. If we do not have some lower relative humidity soon I think it will take a permanent set in that position. My electronic instruments appear to be totally confused. My Weather Station Console predicts deteriorating barometric pressure and rain. My Min/Max Thermometer forecasts partly cloudy skies with improving barometric pressure. Finally, the remote weather station forecast cloudy skies with deteriorating barometric pressure. My best guess is that we will have unsettled weather with relatively mild temperatures. It also appears that we will have a bit more wind overnight.

There were some differences between the actual and forecast temperature data, but not as much as between the actual and forecast relative humidity data. Come on guys you can do better than that.
