Overnight the N.W.S. and I had the predominant weather correct, there was no precipitation, and we did have some fog early. That has now burned off, the sun is shining, and there is no wind. We do have some cirrus clouds filtering the sun a bit. It is somewhat humid, but that has dropped almost 10% since I took the initial reading around 05:45.
For today N.O.A.A. is again calling for no precipitation, but the cloud cover is expected to be a bit heavier than it was yesterday (18%/28%/37%/53%) and on the increase. We should not be bothered by the clouds, and it should be a delightful day.
My Weather Stick responded to the 93% relative humidity very nicely by frowning. Once again the electronic instruments are reporting the same as they did last night. Two of them are forecasting fair skies with rising barometric pressure, while the remote weather station is reporting mixed sky conditions with rising barometric pressure. I am once again going to suggest that we will see mostly fair skies with some clouds passing through. It should be another great day for a bicycle ride and some work on the woodpile. I only have three stalls left, but I need to get the wood done first, and then I can get the stalls finished.

The N.W.S had the temperature correct for all four periods overnight. The only relative humidity forecast point they missed was at 02:00 hours this morning. They only missed one of the forecast points for the two parameters checked. That was better than yesterday.
