Those chilly winds sure blow just as N.O.A.A. predicted. This is now three days we have been dealing with these winds. The sun is up this morning, so it should be a pretty day. I think it will continue to be cold though. I had a meeting this morning, so this is not being posted until tonight. My Commandery had its annual Easter Observance, so that is where I was.
For today the N.W.S. forecasts no precipitation, more wind and less cloud cover (0%/2%/2%/5%). We should have a great deal of sunshine, but I am still not sure how much good it will do.
My Weather Stick is really smiling due to the 48% relative humidity. All three of the electronic instruments forecast rising barometric pressure, and only the remote weather station forecasts any sort of overcast. I think it is wrong! The other two forecast fair skies and I think they are right. The low temperatures were far too low and need to be higher at this time of year (16.8°F/16.2°F/20.8°F). Someday spring will come, I am just not sure when. I will let you know when it happens.

Comparative data for the overnight

Relative Humidity: 40%/56%//51%/55%//55%/52%//63%/46%
The N.W.S. missed the last half of the temperature forecasts overnight by more than 5°F. They only missed the 20:00 hour forecast of the relative humidity by more than 10%. That really was not a bad job considering the amount of wind we had.
