There Is A Change Coming, I Can Feel It

My shoulders, which have had surgery, both feel a change is coming. The barometric pressure is falling, and we have altostratus clouds over us. I have heard some prognosticators say this is not going to be pretty. We did have a nice day, it warmed up, the wind remained calm or nearly so but the clouds moved in and lowered all day.

N.O.A.A. had he predominant weather correct, and their estimate of the cloud cover was also good. Their results on the temperature were not so good, but the relative humidity forecast was better.
For the overnight N.O.A.A. predicts ice for the first half of the overnight followed by a wintry mix. There is no precipitation yet (22:45 hours). The temperatures are not expected to fall very far, but the cloud cover is forecast to become very thick.
My weather stick still points up due to the 35% relative humidity. The Weather Station forecasts fair skies with rising barometric pressure. I think it is on drugs because the weather is deteriorating hour by hour. The Min/Max Thermometer is a bit more believable since it is forecasting foul weather with falling barometric pressure. The remote weather station is in the middle forecasting clouds with falling barometric pressure. I will put in my two cents worth and call for foul weather (rain/freezing rain/sleet and/or snow) overnight. The temperature will be the key as to what we have. It should be an interesting commute in the morning.

N.O.A.A. was within 5° of the target with the temperature for the first half of today, and they missed the second half miserably. They only missed the relative humidity forecast at 08:00 hours this morning. No Comment!
