When I checked this evening there were a few stars directly overhead, and a few more could be seen toward the east. The rest was clouds, and they seem to be thickening and lowering. The temperature did not change 10 degrees from 07:00 to 16:00 hours this afternoon. It has also remained cloudy most of the day with only an occasional break, but no significant sun.
N.O.A.A. predicts that we will receive light mixed frozen precipitation all night. I have yet to see anything. They are also calling for the cloud cover to rise from 71% to 89% during the overnight. The temperature, as you can see below is not supposed to change more than a degree all night long and end where it is supposed to start.
My Weather Stick would suggest change if we believed it, but it is responding to the 73% relative humidity. The electronic instruments forecast inclement weather moving in. As we have seen before, the longer it takes to get here the longer it takes to leave. All three instruments see the barometric pressure falling. With all this the only thing I can predict is unsettled weather moving in with a more significant event later in the weekend. By the way N.O.A.A. is already posting warnings, so check out the weather sites to remain current on those warnings.

N.O.A.A. did have the temperature right for today. The relative humidity was not close early this morning, and went downhill from there then improved at the end of the day.
