We did have some fog early this morning, so N.O.A.A. got that part right. We did not have any precipitation during the day, so they also got that part right. It did warm up into the seventies making this another excellent day to be out of doors. I spent quite a bit of the day outside, but I did not get any more wood split. I did have errands to run and other chores to accomplish. Oh well, the wood did not walk away, and it will be there for me to work on tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, there appears to be some significant fog that will show up after midnight. There are some echoes showing up on the NEXRAD radar, but I am not sure that they are truly showers or just ground clutter. The Weather Underground model forecast maps still content that we will not have any precipitation for the next 24 hours anyway.
My Weather Stick is frowning still. The 83% relative humidity would be the reason. Two of the electronic instruments forecast foul weather with falling barometric pressure. The remote weather station forecasts mixed fair and cloudy skies, also with falling barometric pressure. I think we are heading into a period of unsettled weather, but it will not get serious until Friday or Saturday. That is my guess.

Comparative data for today.

The temperature did not warm up as quickly as N.O.A.A. thought it would; therefore they missed the 11:00 hour data point today. They just
missed all four points for the relative humidity. I do not know why, they just did.
