In addition to the 0.02 inches of rain we had this morning, we had an additional 0.04 inches this afternoon. We went to Freeport, Maine this afternoon, and we were caught in a couple of downpours. I guess N.O.A.A. did get the predominant weather correct today. I think they might have had more rain on the coast than we did here in the foothills of western Maine. The sun came out this afternoon, and it did get warm.
For the overnight, N.O.A.A. predicts light scattered showers for the first half of the period followed by fog for the rest of the period. I have checked the Weather Underground model forecast maps and they show the storms moving off into the canadian Maritimes this evening, and a clear day for tomorrow. The NEXRAD radar indicates that the front has moved through and most of the storms are either off shore or into the Canadian Maritimes.
My Weather Stick continues to frown, and I do not like 91% humidity either. Two of my electronic instruments are calling for rain and falling barometric pressure, while the remote weather station forecasts cloudy weather and steady barometric pressure. I would suspect that the weather is going to fool the ones calling for foul weather, and the weather is going to improve just as the cloud cover is supposed to (87%/56%/50%/35%). I would also suspect that we will have a nice day tomorrow, as the Weather Underground model forecast maps are forecasting.

As well as the N.W.S. did overnight they did badly with the relative humidity today. Their forecast of the temperature was fair, since they only missed the 14:00 hours point.
