The sun is up and out, and there are almost no clouds in the sky. There is a light wind, but it is not steady. Things seem to be drying out. N.O.A.A. may have had the overnight forecast correct, but I did not see any fog. I got up too late to see it. It may be possible to get some work done outside today in the garden.
For today N.O.A.A. forecasts no precipitation with a moderate to low cloud cover (15%/23%/31%/21%). The wind is variable and blowing up to 6.9 miles per hour. That should keep it quite comfortable. We can stand a few days like this.
My Weather Stick this morning points slightly up with the 65% relative humidity. All three electronic instruments indicate that the barometric pressure will rise. Two of them are calling for sunny skies, and the remote weather station forecasts partly cloudy skies. Once again, I would expect this to be a great day to be outside enjoying our summer weather in Wilton, Maine.

The N.W.S. got the temperature forecast correct, and only missed the second half of the overnight with the relative humidity. Not as bad a showing as yesterday.
