N.O.A.A. predicted no precipitation and moderately clear skies, with temperatures in the seventies. They were right. The sky at 17:00 hours was quite strange. To our east there were some cirrus clouds, but there was a hazy appearance to the rest of the sky. There were not what we would consider discrete clouds, but there was a haze. I so not think it portends any precipitation, it was just there.
The N.W.S. continues to call for no precipitation into the next dark period. The do see some increase in the cloud cover over that period (16%/31%/26%/42%). There is a storm of some sort in Western Pennsylvania, but it is moving in a direction that should not impinge on our weather. The Weather Underground model forecast maps show that storm trying to move in our direction, but the front that came through overnight is blocking that storm, and it will ultimately move east without affecting us. There are no other storms on the maps that will affect our weather until at least the end of the week. That being the case I may actually try to go fishing this coming week.
My Weather Stick continues to smile broadly at the 36% relative humidity. Two of my electronic instruments forecast fair skies, while the remote weather station forecasts unsettled weather. The two forecasting fair skies also forecast rising barometric pressure while the remote weather station sees it a remaining steady. I think we have high pressure slowly morning in, which will lead to more pleasant weather with moderate temperatures. We did have high temperatures in the sixties and seventies (76.4°F/64.8°F/66.4°F) which is fantastic.

Comparative data for today.

Relative Humidity: 70%/70%//45%/46%//38%/34%//40%/30%
The N.W.S. temperature forecast was correct for the 08:00 and 14:00 hour forecasts. Then they had all four of the relative humidity forecasts correct. I do not have an explanation for that, so I will leave it at that.
