I did not post this last night, but the data and information is here presented. It was a hot summer day, and here it is only late spring. N.O.A.A. had the predominant weather correct, but their estimate of the temperature was a little low. It was hot enough that I decided not to do a great deal of heavy labor outside. It is supposed to be better today.
For the overnight N.O.A.A. predicted no precipitation, cloud cover remaining in the upper 20% range (21%/25%/28%/33%), and the temperatures falling into the mid-fifties. The Weather Underground model forecast maps still do not show any significant storms until sometime Monday. The NEXRAD composite radar is clear.
My Weather Stick points up, and with 30% relative humidity that is expected. The electronic weather instruments have not changed their forecasts at all, and I have copied them here. Two of the electronic instruments indicate foul weather with falling barometric pressure. The remote weather station forecasts a mix of fair and cloudy skies with steady barometric pressure at 30.03 in. Hg. My best guess is that we will see a repeat of today, except that it will be dark, and the temperatures will fall to the predicted evening levels.

N.O.A.A. did quite well with both the temperature and relative humidity forecasts for today. Nice job folks.
