It Is Cooling Down

Overnight, or at least around 23:00 hours, there were some light scattered snow showers. Apparently, N.O.A.A. missed those in their forecast. There was not enough snow however to measure. The clouds that produced that snow dissipated overnight, leaving us with partly cloudy skies. By my estimate, the cloud cover was around 60% when I took Bart out for his morning constitutional.

Do We Have Some Foul Weather In The Near Future?
For today, N.O.A.A. is predicting light scattered snow showers all day long. Those showers do not show up on the Weather Underground model forecast maps. The cloud cover is predicted to drop from 72 to 55% during the day. The temperature is not expected to be as high as it has been for the past several days, it will only reach a high of 34°F.
My Weather Stick is responding to the 55% relative humidity and points straight out. My electronic instruments, using the same data, have come up with slightly different forecasts. All three of them forecast improving barometric pressure. Indeed, the barometric pressure has risen overnight. My Weather Station Console forecasts fair skies. The Min/Max Thermometer forecasts partly cloudy skies. The remote weather station predicts cloudy skies. With this mix of potential forecasts, the best I can come up with is clearing skies, cool temperatures and moderate winds. I guess, we will get all the weather we are entitled to.
