The sky did clear completely overnight. As a result, the temperature fell to a low of 14.1°F. N.O.A.A. did get the predominant weather correct for our area. In other words, we had no snow, rain or other precipitation.
For today, N.O.A.A. forecasts no precipitation for this area. The cloud cover is expected to get to a maximum of 26% by 13:00 hours. Temperatures are forecast to be just a little bit higher than they were yesterday, and the relative humidity is expected to be just a little lower than it was yesterday.
In response to the 81% relative humidity, my Weather Stick points slightly down. All three of my electronic instruments are acting in concert forecasting fair skies and improving barometric pressure. This is quite a change from what we have seen for the past couple of days. When there is such agreement with N.O.A.A. the Weather Underground model forecasts maps, the NEXRAD radar and my instruments I must agree and call for fair skies, light winds and moderating temperatures. The temperatures will be seasonable, but it will be a pleasant day.

There were almost no differences between the actual and forecast temperature data. The relative humidity was better than usual with most of the readings within 10% and the last one exactly right.
