The air is cool and crisp, the sky cloudless and the sun shining brightly. Overnight there has been no precipitation, as N.O.A.A. forecast. This appears to be the start of a very nice day, if it holds.
For today N.O.A.A. predicts no precipitation, the cloud cover increasing as the day wears on (1%/17%/33%/55%), temperatures in the low fifties and just a bit of wind to keep it interesting.
My Weather Stick points up indicating low relative humidity, and 66% is low. The three electronic instruments agree about the barometric pressure, and forecast its continued rise. The Weather Station Console and Min/Max Thermometer agree that we will have fair skies, but the remote weather station forecasts clouds. Looking into my crystal ball I can see some clouds moving in, but I do not think it will turn to foul weather until some time tomorrow. Concentrating on the NEXRAD radar, there is some precipitation moving in our direction, but the Weather Underground forecast maps indicate that the precipitation will not be as heavy as they had originally predicted. We will just have to wait until tomorrow to see what happens.

N.O.A.A. was within 5° of the target with the temperature for the overnight. They only missed the relative humidity forecast at 05:00 hours this morning. One thing I should mention is that the time periods from N.O.A.A. have now changed to Daylight Savings Time. The forecast times are now 08:00/11:00/14:00 and 17:00 hours during the day and 20:00/23:00/02:00 and 05:00 for the overnight. They are only three weeks behind the times.
Forecast data for today.
