The sky today remained partly to mostly cloudy until aroun16:00 hours, when the clouds began to dissipate. By the time I left for a meeting the sky was almost clear. When I arrived home there were no clouds left in the sky. Temperatures today would have been very comfortable if the wind had not been as persistent as it was. I think the cloud cover was somewhat heavier than N.O.A.A. predicted, but I do not have a meter to measure it. I also noted that the wind shifted from the Southwest this morning to the North and Northwest this evening. Therefore, I guess it is tapping into a different air mass this evening.
For the overnight N.O.A.A. forecasts moderate winds in the 10 mph range, clear skies (1%/0%/01%/4%), slightly below freezing temperatures and no precipitation. There is no precipitation on the NEXRAD radar, and now the Weather Underground model forecast maps show no active storms on the horizon until sometime Monday. It looks like I missed that forecast for our area.
My Weather Stick still points up with the 34% relative humidity. The electronic instruments are totally confused. The Weather Station Console forecasts foul weather with deteriorating barometric pressure. The Min/Max Thermometer forecasts partly cloudy skies with improving barometric pressure. Finally the remote weather station forecasts cloudy conditions with steady barometric pressure. Right now I see clear skies with wind and falling temperatures. That is as far as I am willing to go.
