Today was, as forecast by N.O.A.A., another windy day with cold temperatures making the out of doors miserable to be in, but pretty to look at. On days like this I do try to keep a set of walls, doors and windows between me and the weather. That way I can watch it , and I do not have to experience it. I did go to a meeting in Brunswick, and that went quite well.
For the overnight the N.W.S. forecasts no precipitation and dissipating cloud cover (26%/19%/19%/15%). There jus it not much to say about this forecast because, other than the wind and cold temperatures it will be relatively uneventful. That is shown as well by the NEXRAD regional composite radar and Weather Underground model forecast maps.
My Weather Stick is finally smiling at the 57% relative humidity. Two of the electronic instruments forecast fair skies and rising barometric pressure. The remote weather station also indicates rising barometric pressure, but still forecasts foul weather. Maybe by morning it will catch up with the others. I think we will continue to see blustery conditions and cold temperatures, although things may moderate sometime in the next six weeks or so. Have a Happy Easter everyone.

The N.W.S. missed the recorded temperature fore the second half of today by more than 5°F. They did correctly predict the relative humidity within 10% at all four times. Not a great job, but not a bad one either.
