With high pressure building in, N.O.A.A. got the predominant weather correct, and we had no rain or other precipitation. It has been a windy day with the wind ranging from 1.5 to 13mph. The clouds from yesterday’s storm have dissipated, and the sky currently is clear. As a result of that clear sky, the temperature is beginning to fall precipitously.
For the overnight N.O.A.A. predicts clear skies, no precipitation and temperatures in the mid-twenties. Even the Weather Underground model forecast maps are predicting clear skies for the overnight.
My Weather Stick points straight out and that as a result of 58% relative humidity. Two of my electronic instruments forecast fair skies with continued improving barometric pressure. The remote weather station also predicts improving barometric pressure but with clouds. Currently I see no clouds in the sky so I must discount that latter forecast. I suspect we will see no clouds and cool temperatures for the overnight.
