Some Clouds, Some Sun Equals A Nice Day!
N.O.A.A. predicted no precipitation for today and they got that right. I think they forecast more clouds than we actually had, but we did have some. Between the clouds we also had some sunshine, and the temperature did rise into the upper forties. In fact on the north side of the house it did make it a little over 50°F. Even with the wind it was a nice day.
The N.W.S. forecast no precipitation overnight, and the cloud cover forecast supports that (58%/8%/1%/1%). The NEXRAD regional composite radar also shows no precipitation in the region. The Weather Underground model forecast maps predict a fine week of weather or is that a week of fine weather. We are certainly due for that.
My Weather Stick is literally smiling so much that it is curling back on itself. All this due to the 24% relative humidity. Two of the electronic instruments forecast fair skies, while the remote weather station sees some clouds. They are all forecasting rising barometric pressure though. There were some cumulus clouds earlier, but they are all gone now. We reached our high temperature around 05:00, and it would have been even higher if the sun had been out more fully earlier. Our high temperatures were as I mentioned in the high forties and low fifties (48.0°F/51.3°F/45.0°F). I think we can expect some temperatures in the low twenties overnight, but it should warm up quickly in the morning. It will be a nice night although a little cooler than it should be. It should get better.

The N.W.S. forecast the temperature and relative humidity correctly for all four points. All I can say here is great job folks. See, I do give kudos when they are earned.
