The weather since Saturday has been phenomenal. It has been cool, dry, and bright and precipitation free. It certainly has been fantastic to work outside. I have taken care of 6 tons + of wood, trimmed my fence line, so the goats will stay where they belong, worked on my lawnmower and done a myriad of other small jobs that needed attention. N.O.A.A. and I had the predominant weather correct, and I would even agree with the cloud cover estimates that were made.
For the overnight, the N.W.S. forecasts no precipitation, but the cloud cover is forecast to increase (33%/54%/75%/81%) by morning in advance of a warm front that has been held at bay by the high pressure system we have had over us since Saturday. There is no precipitation showing up on the NEXRAD radar at this time, and the Weather Underground model forecast maps do not show any foul weather until sometime Friday. I guess that tomorrow is being forecast as a day of transition from the gorgeous weather we have been having to some not so nice weather we will have for the next couple of days. We shall find out all in good time.
My Weather Stick is smiling and with 65% relative humidity I am smiling too. It is pleasant. I find no agreement among my electronic instruments. My Weather Station forecasts partly cloudy skies with falling barometric pressure. My Min/Max Thermometer forecasts fair skies and rising barometric pressure. My remote weather station forecasts partly cloudy skies with steady barometric pressure. I like the Min/Max Thermometer's forecast, but I believe the Weather Station. I think we will see some deterioration in our weather over the next twenty-four hours, and that will be followed by some rain, and at this point we probably could use some.

The N.W.S had the forecast temperature within five degrees of the actual temperature in Wilton, Maine. They had the 08:00 and 17:00 hour relative humidity forecast within 5% of the real recorded relative humidity. This was not as good as this morning, but still not bad.
