For today N.O.A.A. was half right. We did not have any precipitation all day, despite the forecast of light scattered showers for this afternoon. We did not have any in Yarmouth at the coast or here in Wilton, Maine where I live.
N.O.A.A. forecasts no precipitation overnight with cloud cover in the mid 30% range (37%/35%/33%/33%). The Weather Underground model forecast maps also support that forecast. The NEXRAD radar is showing some showers in New Hampshire moving west, away from us.
My Weather Stick points up in response to the 69% relative humidity. All three of the electronic instruments predict continued falling barometric pressure. The same instruments that forecast foul weather are still forecasting foul weather. The remote weather station still forecasts cloudy conditions. My take on all this is that we will see the sky remain mostly clear to clear, that we will have no rain, but it will be humid overnight making it less comfortable than it has been.

Comparative data for today.

N.O.A.A. did not foresee the temperature at all today, and they have the nerve to criticize the temperatures from my weather station. They only missed the 11:00 hour relative humidity point. So, they got the relative humidity and missed the temperature. That is a switch. I still do not think we are getting full value for our tax dollars.
