N.O.A.A. did have the predominant forecast correct for today, it rained and we acquired almost an inch between last night and today. I cannot say much more than clouds and rain for today.
For the overnight the N.W.S. says we sill star with rain, decreasing to light scattered showers and ending the last half of the overnight with no precipitation. They also claim that the cloud cover will decrease from 100% to 79% to 57% and end at 52%. That seems to be reasonable. The NEXRAD regional radar shows most of the showers are gone. The Weather Underground model forecast maps indicate that the storm will be gone by no later than 06:00 tomorrow morning.
My Weather Stick is frowning again, and with 91% relative humidity I agree. My Weather station forecasts falling barometric pressure with rain. My Min/Max Thermometer forecasts mixed conditions with rising barometric pressure. Finally the remote weather station forecasts rain with falling barometric pressure. I see that the clouds have broken, the moon is shining brightly and the rain has stopped. The skies are clearing but the barometer has not yet risen above this morning's level. I think the storm is already over, and we will see a fine day tomorrow.

The N,W.S. missed the temperature at 14:00 hours today. The only relative humidity forecast that they had correct was at 17:00 hours this afternoon. They did not do very well with the forecasting of the temperature and relative humidity today.
