Overnight N.O.A.A. forecast no precipitation and crystal clear skies. They were right. We had no precipitation, there were no clouds this morning, and the temperatures were moving up just as they should have. This was a pretty and pleasant night.
For today the N.W.S. forecasts clear skies (0%/3%/9%/0%) very light winds, and no precipitation. I just cannot add to that. The NEXRAD regional composite radar and Weather Underground model forecast maps still call for no weather systems moving in until at least sometime Tuesday. Stay tuned.
My Weather Stick continues to smile at the 32% relative humidity. Yes, you saw that correctly 31%, and that is some dry air. All three of my electronic instruments forecast fair skies with rising barometric pressure, although I am not sure how much higher it can get above 30.58 in Hg. Our low temperatures still settled into the teens, but that still was not bad (15.2°F/16.4°F/23.9°F). I think we can live with that if the weather has turned the corner and we are moving into meteorological spring. Data from 03/30/2008.
