It is cool again this morning, for July, but that is the reason for the ground fog we are experiencing. N.O.A.A. did get the predominant weather correct, since we had no precipitation other than some light ground fog. By my estimation the cloud cover is a bi lower than they predicted.
For today the N.W.S. forecasts no precipitation as the predominant weather, but they do forecast some light scattered precipitation slightly north of our location in Wilton, Maine. We may be able so see some activity, but we may not get any. The cloud cover forecast indicates that the cloud cover will increase throughout the day (38%/49%/47%/55%). There is no precipitation showing up on the regional NEXRAD radar this morning. The Weather Underground model forecast maps do not show any precipitation moving into the area today. In fact they are not showing any precipitation until sometime late tomorrow afternoon or evening. We will have to wait and see on that.
My Weather Stick is frowning this morning., and that is in response to relative humidity at 92%. That relative humidity certainly supports the fog we are currently experiencing. My electronic instruments currently do not agree on the predominant weather we can expect. My Weather Station forecasts clear skies with rising barometric pressure. The Min/Max Thermometer indicates the arrival of some foul weather with decreasing barometric pressure. The remote weather station sees the barometric pressure improving, but clouds remaining in the forecast.

Comparative data for the overnight.
Temperature:69°F/61.3°F//57°F/53.9°F//54°F/50.1°F//52°F/44.6°F
Relative Humidity: 59%/77%//86%/90%//93%/91%//96%/92%
The N.W.S. missed half of the temperature readings. The ones they had correct were in the middle of the overnight period. They only missed the 20:00 hour forecast for the relative humidity. I still would not bet on the N.W.S. being correct. They do seem to miss a number of their forecast points.
Forecast data for today.
