The wind was cool and the air sparkled, just as N.O.A.A. said it would. We had no precipitation, and the wind was much gentler than it has been lately. The temperature almost made it to 60°F. There just is not much to say about perfection.
For the overnight the N.W.S. says we can expect another cloudless period with radiational cooling to drop the temperature into the mid-twenties again. At least there is a suggestion that we may reach 60°F or higher tomorrow. The NEXRAD regional composite radar is still clear, and the Weather Underground model forecast maps call for no storms into Friday. How about that? We may have a week without any storms. That will be the first time since December.
My Weather Stick is grinning broadly at the 32% relative humidity. That helps to make it feel colder due to the evaporation of perspiration from our skin. All three of my electronic instruments call for the barometric pressure to continue to rise. The only one not forecasting fair skies is the remote weather station, and it is forecasting unsettled weather (a mix of clear and cloudy skies). Only tow of my instruments recorded high temperatures (57.9°F/OFL°F/51.4°F). The Min/Max Thermometer went off line for some reason, quite unknown to me. I think the weather will remain clear for a while yet, and we can enjoy it. It will be even nicer when the overnight temperature remains above freezing consistently.

The N.W.S. forecast the temperature and relative humidity correctly at all four points during the day today. So, kudos on the temperature and relative humidity. Nice work folks.
