Today would have been a great day to work outside. N.O.A.A. was correct in their forecast of no precipitation and decreasing cloud cover.
For the overnight N.O.A.A. forecasts no precipitation for the first half of the period and fog for the second. The cloud cover, which is non-existent now, is expected to increase somewhat (4%/13%/22%/31%). There is still no weather showing up on the NEXRAD radar, and there have been no changes in the Weather Underground model forecast maps.
My Weather Stick points straight out, and with 79% relative humidity that is no surprise. All three of the electronic instruments are now indicating falling barometric pressure. They do not agree on the weather we are going to have. The Weather Station says partly cloudy skies, the Min/Max Thermometer forecasts foul weather, and the remote weather station indicates cloudy conditions. I do not believe any of them. I think we will have a basically clear night with temperatures in the forties and very little cloud cover.

Comparative data for today.

Relative Humidity: 75%/77%//66%/59%//70%/52%//42%/45%.
N.O.A.A. missed the recorded temperature for the 17:00. The only relative humidity points they missed were in the middle of the day. I would not consider that a good job.
