5/11/11

Okay, this is awesome.  This morning, skies were dark and cloudy, temp was 62.  It has been gradually progressing, and now, GOOD DAY, SUNSHINE! 71.4 degrees! Wind is (get this) 1 mph from the East.  One mile per hour.  Nice and calm.  61% humid.  There's a low pressure system directly overhead of us, extending into an occluded front that extends northward into Canada.  The ridge in the jet has shifted to the east, off us; there's a counterclockwise circle of jet stream in the central Rockies. 
Tomorrow, temp stays beautiful, but I'd imagine we'll see some storms.  Wind shifts to the northwest, very low wind speed.

5/10/11

I can't wait any longer to report today's weather: 76.5 degrees! Let me repeat that: 76.5.  Seventy-six point five.  The dew point is 58.1 for a relative humidity of 53%.  Wind is 17 mph from the SE.  Sky is clear and sunny.  It is beautiful out there.  Furthermore, there's a warm front headed our way.  There's a couple of low pressure systems to our west bracketing an occluded front.  This gives us a possibility of clouds sometime soon.  Rain is also possible.  The jet stream is formed in a big ridge over our immediate group of states.  High pressure reigns supreme. 
Tomorrow, hotter, cloudless, wind shifts to the south. 

Wednesday, May 4, 2011

5/4/11

62.2 today, ten degrees warmer than I predicted (did I say 52? I meant 62! C'mon, honest!), it's only 19% humid, there's a 5 mph SE wind, and the sky is mostly clear but kind of hazy.  The surface map shows a high pressure system nearby; the jet stream map shows that we are in a ridge of high pressure. 
Tomorrow, I'd say that we'll have 58 degrees, NW wind of 8 mph, and clear sky. 

Tuesday, May 3, 2011

5/3/11

50.2, not bad, clear sky, sunshine.  It feels good.  11 mph NE wind.  Surface map pretty clear; high pressure system in our area.  We're in a trough. 
Tomorrow, winds shift to the SW, continued warmth and sunshine.  I say 52 degrees. 

Monday, May 2, 2011

5/2/11

38.1.  Very little wind, 3 mph from the SW.  It's overcast.  Why must it be this way? Okay, there's a high pressure system just west of us.  When that starts to affect us, these clouds will be pushed out and away.
Tomorrow, then, we'll have clear skies, sunshine, and a 5 mph NW wind. 

Sunday, May 1, 2011

5/1/11

I feel I have to share this, ladies and gentlemen.  As I was walking through campus just now, the wind blowing all around, I thought to myself, "It's got to be 36 degrees right now."  What's the temperature on campus? 36.1.  Thank you, thank you. 
But seriously, screw this weather.

Friday, April 29, 2011

4/29/11

62.8, hooray! 11 mph SE wind, skies are clear.  High pressure system in our area. 
Forecast for tomorrow is rainy, temp lower by a few degrees, and wind about the same. 

Thursday, April 28, 2011

4/28/11

Weather on campus is working again.  44.2 today, with a dew point of 35.8 and a relative humidity of 72%.  There was the lightest of light rain starting a few minutes ago, just a few drops.  The wind is 12 mph from the NW.  Now that occluded front has moved even farther north.  Mostly high pressure across the US; a big cold front has moved through.  It's overcast.  The trough that we were in is gone, thankfully.  I was wrong about it getting warmer; I was right about it staying cloudy, and spot on for wind speed.
Tomorrow, I think that it will be warm, it will be sunny, and it will be clear.  I can't wait to see it happen. 

Wednesday, April 27, 2011

4/27/11

42 out there, dew point 32, humidity 68%.  There is an 8 mph NW wind.  Skies are overcast.  There were some flurries (yes, snow) earlier in the day, but only for a little while.  The occluded front that was south of us yesterday has shifted to the northeast, so north of Michigan (that's Canada, eh) is getting hit with storms, but we're fine.  The jet stream has calmed down too, but we're still in a trough of low pressure. 
Tomorrow, I expect that temperature will rise to 48, that skies will stay cloudy, and that the wind will increase to 12 mph.

Tuesday, April 26, 2011

4/26/11

Current conditions for the Eau Claire area are: temperature, 41 degrees; dew point, 38 degrees; humidity, 89%; wind speed, 8 mph; wind direction, N; light rain.  Oh, dear.  There's an occluded front forming just south of us.  Very interesting jet stream map too; there's a big trough in the middle of the country.  The lines in the trough are pretty messed up, curving this way and that, with the jet in seperate places flowing north, south, and even west. 
Tomorrow, I refuse to predict snow, no matter what NOAA says is possible.  I say that the temperature will increase to 44, that we'll have clouds and rain, and a north wind of 6 mph. 

Friday, April 22, 2011

4/22/11

43.2.  Dew point 38.1, so relative humidity 82%.  10 mph SE wind.  Overcast.  Boy, that's a large occluded front, extending from South Dakota to Arkansas.  Surely we'll feel the effect of some of its storms soon.  Not much action in the jet stream. 
Tomorrow, we're likely in for more of the same.  Mostly cloudy, 8 mph wind from the NE, temperature 45 degrees. 

Thursday, April 21, 2011

4/21/11

49.8 baby.  1 mph SE wind.  That's what it says on campus.  Over on the Chippewa Regional Valley Airport station, they're reporting a 14 mph S wind.  We've got mixed clouds, partly to mostly cloudy. 
Tomorrow, I think we're in for a clearing of the skies to partly cloudy, 6-8 mph wind, temperature down a few degrees. 

Wednesday, April 20, 2011

4/20/11

42.1 degrees.  All that hooplah about snow, with rumortastic predictions of anywhere between 1 and 10 inches, and what have we got? Zero inches accumulation.  Still, it's crappy outside.  11 mph NW wind.  Overcast. 
Tomorrow, I predict that the clouds will lift to mostly cloudy, the wind will stay the same, and the temperature will be increased.  To 48. 

Tuesday, April 19, 2011

4/19/11

It's snowing.  Right now.  Small flakes, but still.  34.7 degrees, dew point 31.3, 87% relatively humid.  10 mph East wind.  Oh, goody.  Looking at the surface map, what was a stationary front across the US is now a cold front.  The warm air, apparently, gave up in the face of overwhelming force.  Oh, goody.  If you hadn't guessed, it's overcast.  The strongest jet stream is below WI; the air over WI is pretty same, temperature wise, so we're all in this together. 
Oh, boy, tomorrow, temperature about the same, chance of rain and snow (call it a pretty good chance), and an 8 mph NW wind. 

Monday, April 18, 2011

4/18/11

46.6 temperature right now, 5 mph NW wind, mostly cloudy, horizontal jet stream, high pressure systems to our north, stationary front to our south that stretches cross-continent. 
Tomorrow, cooling off to low 40's, wind switches to the East and picks up to 10 mph, and there's snow and rain expected.  April showers bring May flowers, but what does April snow bring, other than unpleasantness?

Saturday, April 16, 2011

4/16/11

38.3 degrees today, continuing these cold, strange days.  It snowed yesterday and there was snow on the ground last night.  I woke up this morning and the snow was gone.  Last night, there was a combination of icy snow pellets and hard wind that together cut the air.  Dew point 23.9, relative humidity 56%.  13 mph NW wind.  Occluded front formed in an arc over Michigan, with a low pressure system centered over the state's north, which is causing the winds we're getting.  Overcast.  We're in the 100 mph Jet Stream.  Interesting, the National Weather Service is calling this weather "Breezy."  I'd go a step farther, to "Blustery." 
Anyway, the low level blanket of stratus clouds hovering over us will pass by tomorrow, and skies will be clear, blue, and sunny.  Temperature is improving as well, to 48. Wind staying the same. 

Friday, April 15, 2011

4/15/11

NE wind 13 mph.  45.1 degrees.  Dew point 13.1.  Relative humidity 27%.  Overcast.  Barometric Pressure is falling rapidly.  There's a low pressure system to our south that's going to give us some grief.  The slanted trough in the jet stream shifted east; we now lie in it. 
Tomorrow, it's supposed to get colder (yippee), windier (ki-yay), and snow (fill in the blank). 

Thursday, April 14, 2011

4/14/11

47.5 out there, not much colder than I had anticipated.  12 mph wind, but from the East, not the Northeast like I thought; also, it's overcast, not partly cloudy.  Ugly weather, I say, especially for spring.  Nebraska is getting storms right now, including snow, so at least we're not Nebraska.  There's a high pressure system to our north.  There's a stationary front coming down the extent of the Rockies; in Oklahoma the warm air has won out over the cold, and there's a bulge of a warm front extending just south of Indiana; at Ohio it becomes a stationary front once more.  Seriously interesting jet stream map; the lines are pretty horizontal over us, but before they reach us, they take a severe dip such that over Kansas and Missouri the stream moves in a counterclockwise circle.  What do you call a through that tilts sideways? And what does it all mean?
For our neck of the woods tomorrow, temperature stays constant, clouds stay constant, but the wind; oh, the wind; East (blah blah blah for man or beast): 18 to 24 mph. 

Wednesday, April 13, 2011

4/13/11

58.6 and overcast.  Blah.  Temperature dropped more than a few degrees; 7, in fact.  Dew point 19.9, relative humidity 22%.  6 mph NW wind.  The cold front did indeed sweep over us.  There's a pocket of storm coming our way today. 
Tomorrow, it gets colder.  50, I think.  The wind shifts to the Northeast and picks up to 11 mph.  At least the clouds will lift slightly; only partly cloudy. 

Tuesday, April 12, 2011

4/12/11

65.5 today, clear blue sky, 7 mph SW wind.  Very nice.  Dew point 31.5, relative humidity 28%.  There's a cold front on the way, but it doesn't look like it'll threaten tomorrow too much.
There will be clouds tomorrow; mostly cloudy, temperature drop of a few degrees, wind shift to the North. 

Monday, April 11, 2011

4/10/11

60.1.  How's that for a prediction? Dew point 30.9, humidity 33%.  7 mph NW wind.  It's partly cloudy.  There's a funny little dip in the jet stream south of Michigan; the surface map shows a squall line intersecting it at an angle.
Tomorrow, skies look clear, it should be sunny, and the wind should be light SW. 

Sunday, April 10, 2011

4/10/11

Beautiful out today.  78.4! There's a nice, cool 9 mph South wind.  Dew point is 61.5, relative humidity 56%.  It's mostly cloudy. 
Tomorrow, I say, 60 degrees, mostly cloudy, and a 20 mph NW wind.

Saturday, April 9, 2011

4/9/11

53.4 degrees out there, not the most pleasant.  Dew point 49.6 giving us a whopping 87% humidity.  4 mph NE wind.  And it's overcast.  The only thing I got right is less wind speed.  Ah, well.  Surface map, very interesting, there's a little oval of rainstorms situated almost on top of us in the Eau Claire area, but nowhere else in Wisconsin or our neighboring states.  Must be our lucky day.  Oh, check that.  Severe storm incoming tonight.  Large hail, apparently. 
Tomorrow, temperature as high as 78? More severe thunderstorms? South wind 18 mph? How's that sound? Yeah, tell me about it. 

Friday, April 8, 2011

4/8/11

I thought it was going to be colder today, but it's 62.4 degrees.  Yesterday felt warmer though.  And it's mostly sunny, not mostly cloudy like I thought it would be.  Dew point is 27, relative humidity is 26%.  Wind is 10 mph from the SE, same direction as yesterday, about the same strength.  The current surface map shows, contrary to what I thought, that the low pressure system below Michigan did not shift closer to us but rather shifted east.  The jet stream shows a big trough in the west and a ridge forming on a line vertical to Wisconsin. 
What does it all mean? For tomorrow, the National Weather Service says it'll be mostly cloudy.  They said that yesterday, and look what we got.  I say, tomorrow it'll be partly cloudy, same wind direction, less wind speed, and same temperature. 

Thursday, April 7, 2011

4/7/11

61.3! Dew point 23.2, 23% humid.  Clear.  It says there's an 11 mph wind from the SE, but it doesn't feel that strong.  Lots of pressure systems in the US right now: 7 low and 3 high.  If the southeast winds continue, the low that is currently south of Michigan may be pushed to the Milwaukee area, and precipitation would follow for southern WI. 
Tomorrow, for us, it's going to be partly cloudy, a little less warm, with about the same amount of wind.

Wednesday, April 6, 2011

4/6/11

Here is the weather on campus.  54.1 degrees, sunny, mostly clear with a few puffy cumulus clouds hanging around.  Dew point is 24.8 and it's 32% humid.  Wind is 5 mph from the North.  It's a great day, let's have some more like it. 
The surface map and jet stream indicate that tomorrow we're in for more of the same: sunny, mostly clear, and warm, with slight wind. 

Tuesday, April 5, 2011

4/5/11

I'm wearing t-shirt and shorts, I don't know about the rest of you, but it's 50 degrees and mostly sunny.  Apparently there's a 12 mph SW wind for the Eau Claire area, but here on campus I'd say it's much less.  The dew point is 22, relative humidity 33% .  The trough that was in the jet stream to our west is gone; now we're in the straight 140 mph upper air jet. 
What does that mean for tomorrow? Mostly sunny, warmer, I'd say the wind will be about the same. 

Monday, April 4, 2011

4/4/11

Currently it is 43 degrees with a dew point of 28 giving us a relative humidity of 56%.  North wind of 22 mph with gusts as high as 31 mph.  Mostly cloudy.  The surface maps shows a big squall line extending from Louisiana to westen New York, so that region is getting hammered with thunderstorms right now. 
Tomorrow, we're looking at a warmer temperature close to 50 degrees, clearer skies, and a decreased wind. 

Saturday, April 2, 2011

4/2/11

Looks like "Weather on Campus" is busted again, so, how's the Eau Claire area? 48 degrees, dew point 28, 46% humid.  There's a 6 mph West wind.  Mostly clear; a few cumulus clouds.  Surface map doesn't show much activity.  We're in a slight ridge in the jet stream. 
Tomorrow, they're saying big wind is on the way: between 9 and 18 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.  When the low pressure system to our west is pushed closer to us by the wind, the horizontal pressure gradiant will become steep, and the winds they are calling for will materialize.  With the low pressure system will come clouds and possible precipitation as well.  Temperature will increase, as a result of the clouds trapping the surface heat. 

Thursday, March 31, 2011

3/31/11

Today, 47.1.  Dew point 15.6, 28% humid.  3mph SW wind.  The current surface map shows light rain just west of Wisconsin; perhaps we'll get a little of that soon.  It's mostly cloudy.  There's a trough in the jet stream along the east coast; Wisconsin is somewhat in it, but not extensively.
Tomorrow, mostly cloudy, more wind, and slightly colder. 

Wednesday, March 30, 2011

3/30/11

42.3 today, not bad, it's warming up; dew point 3.9.  3 mph NW wind, blue skies.  High pressure system over Wisconsin. 
Tomorrow, still blue skies, slightly warmer, slightly more wind.  

Tuesday, March 29, 2011

3/29/11

38.8 today, just a little warmer than yesterday, dew point lower though, -6.3 giving a relative humidity of 14% compared to yesterday's 18%, 5 mph NW wind, similar to yesterday, still high pressure systems on and around Wisconsin, clear skies, jet stream very interesting on the west coast, where the fastest moving air is near vertical; in fact it's a half circle motion, with the stream coming in from the north west coast, Canada, Washinton region, curving in over the Rockies, and exiting in the south west coast, southern California, Mexico region.  Jet stream over our area not showing much activity. 
Tomorrow, continued slow warming, light wind, clear skies. 

Monday, March 28, 2011

3/28/11

Well, this wasn't the weather I was expecting before I left for Spring Break, but it is what it is.  34.3 degrees, dew point -3.8, so don't even think about there being any precipitation or clouds.  Totally clear blue sky.  6mph NW wind.  Nothing but high pressure systems for most of our area.  We're not in a big jet stream either. 
Tomorrow, clear, sunny, about as cold. 

Wednesday, March 16, 2011

3/16/11

54.9! Dew point 30.4, 10 mph South wind.  It's mostly cloudy but sunny.  Real strong jet stream coming across the continent from the West.  Surface map doesn't show much change. 
Tomorrow, then, will be nice and warm like today.  It'll stay mostly cloudy but there'll be less wind.

Monday, March 14, 2011

3/14/11

What's it like today? Temperature 42.3, awesome and higher than I predicted it to be, dew point 23.9, 6mph SW wind, clear and sunny.  High pressure systems are the closest things to us right now, so skies are going to remain clear. 
Tomorrow, warmer and about the same amount of wind. 

Sunday, March 13, 2011

3/13/11

32.2 out there, dew point 18.5, 4 mph wind from the NW.  Mostly clear.  There's a big polar cold front coming in, but the weather guys are saying next week is going to be warming up.
Tomorrow, it'll be clear, sunny, a little warmer, and about the same amount of wind.

Saturday, March 12, 2011

3/12/11

Temperature 23.9 degrees, which is a 20 degree drop from yesterday; dew point 13.5.  There was a great wind last night, but for right now, it's 10mph from the West.  Also, it's overcast.  The current surface map doesn't show much going on.
Tomorrow will likely be sunnier, as the clouds push their way out of our sky, less windy, and warmer by a few degrees. 

Friday, March 11, 2011

3/11/11

It is 43.9 degrees out, which is warmer than yesterday, the dew point is 21.7, and the wind is 9mph from the East.  Skies are mostly clear and sunny.  There's a cold front coming towards us; the warm front that has given us these warm days has passed. 
Forecast for tomorrow is colder (unfortunately), cloudy and lots of wind! I can't see why exactly it'll be windy, or where the wind will be coming from, unless the low pressure system to the west of us shifts east, and the horizontal pressure gradient over our area becomes steep.  We'll see!

Thursday, March 10, 2011

3/10/11

Partly cloudy right now.  Temperature is 37.6 (the on-campus weather is fixed, so these conditions are back to being more accurate), dew point is 23.4, and it is 56% humid.  There's a 2mph wind from the West, not the NW like I had thought.  The trough in the jet stream has shifted to the east. 
Tomorrow, I'd like to think that it will be warmer, that the wind will be stronger, and that there will be some clouds, but that it will be mostly sunny.

Wednesday, March 9, 2011

3/9/11

It is 35 degrees, dew point is 30, 82% humid, 8mph N wind, overcast.  The "Heavy Snow" predicted by the Weather Service didn't fall such; in fact, it was rather light.  There is a trough in the jet stream through WI, continuing southward to the Gulf.  The current surface map shows that the low pressure systems have moved east of WI and that an occluded front has formed there; this region is recieving lots of precipitation right now.
Tomorrow will be less cloudy, warmer, and about the same amount of wind, although from the NW.

Monday, March 7, 2011

3/7/11

Currently it is 31 degrees, the dew point is 27, which makes our humidity 85%; there's a 5mph NE wind and it's overcast.  I was mostly right.  The only thing I didn't predict was this snowfall.  It started this morning and continued until about noon.  Pretty light.  Huge low pressure system situated over our area.  Snow is coming.
Tomorrow, I'm thinking the overcast conditions will persist, it'll be warmer, and there will be the same speed wind.

Sunday, March 6, 2011

3/6/11

24.4 right now.  Same EXACT temp this time yesterday.  Dew point 16.7.  11mph NW wind, so that's stayed constant since yesterday.  IT'S ALL THE SAME.  This makes me question if the Current Weather On Campus is functioning properly.  It isn't.  It hasn't been updated since yesterday.  Okay, actually, the temp is 30, the dew point is 15, and there's a 10mph SE wind.  The day started partly cloudy and is now mostly cloudy.  There's an interesting little warm front near us.  Hopefully that'll pass over us and we'll get some warmer days. 
Tomorrow, I think it's going to be warmer than today, with less wind, and, extending the trend, mostly cloudy.

Saturday, March 5, 2011

3/5/11

It's 24.4, so I was right, it is colder than yesterday, and the wind picked up too, to 11 mph from the NW.  However, instead of being overcast, it is actually clear.  Dew point is 16.7.  The east coast is getting nailed with rain right now.  Not much action around WI, though. 
Tomorrow, I'd say it'll stay the same temperature-wise, it'll be clear, and the wind will drop off some. 

Friday, March 4, 2011

3/4/11

Temp is 34.3, which is slightly warmer than yesterday.  Dew point 25.7.  There's a 6mph NW wind.  The current surface model shows a warm front from south of WI and a cold front from the north.  The jet stream shows a trough is developing just west of us, which could be indicative of the cold air mass coming in from the polar north.  It's overcast.
Tomorrow, it'll cool off a few degrees, stay overcast, and the wind will pick up a bit. 

Thursday, March 3, 2011

3/3/11

Ok, I was mostly wrong.  It did indeed snow earlier.  Right now the temp is 31.8, which is both warmer than yesterday and the only part of my prediction that came true.  Dew point is 24.4 and wind is 5mph out of the NE.  A low pressure system has sprung up west of us, which should pull in air from the warm front just south of us.  By the way, it's overcast. 
Tomorrow should be warmer, with precipitation very probable. 

Wednesday, March 2, 2011

3/2/11

Currently 15.3 degrees.  Dew point -4.4.  2mph NW wind.  Yeah, it's cold.  Overcast.  There's a stationary front going from the western edge of Canada, along the east side of the Rockies, and ending above Texas.  There are high pressure systems over Lake Superior and Lake Erie.  We're out of the jet stream.  What'll that mean for us, tomorrow?
Weather forecasts are announcing a 90% chance of precipitation.  I'm not seeing what they're seeing, I guess.  But it is warming up tomorrow.  Wind should be coming from the west. 

Monday, February 28, 2011

2/28/11

Currently 25.9, dew point 4.8, 6mph NW wind, we're in the 140 mph region of the jet stream, and it's clear and sunny. 
Tomorrow, more of the same. 

Sunday, February 27, 2011

2/27/11

Today, the 27th, it is 27.9 degrees.  That's better.  Warmer.  The dew point is 21.9.  There is a 6mph west wind.  A trough could be starting in the jet stream over our area.  Overcast, stratus clouds. 
Tomorrow, it should be brighter, less cloudy, and warmer still. 

Saturday, February 26, 2011

2/26/11

9.7 here, dew point 3.4, relative humidity 75%, wind ZERO mph from the SW.  It's snowing, and has been lightly for much of the day.  There's a high pressure system practically on top of us, so in theory we should have no precipitation, but I'm sure there's something else at work to allow it.
So, what about tomorrow? How about overcast, about the same temperature, and some light wind. 

Friday, February 25, 2011

2/25/11

Clear.  Cold.  Temp 14, Dew Point -0.8.  5mph wind from the NW.  Wisconsin is right in the 120mph Jet Stream, which is just barrelling over the top of us like a locomotive.  Also, there's a low pressure system just east of the Green Bay area, and a high pressure system northwest of WI in Canada. 
What that'll do for us tomorrow is probably result in some snow, although the heaviest of it will fall in the center of that low pressure system, and we'll just get the scraps. 

Thursday, February 24, 2011

2/24/11

Temp: 30.6.  Dew Point: 15.4.  Wind: 8mph from NW.  Cloudy.
Tomorrow: clear.  Cold. 

Wednesday, February 23, 2011

2/23/11

Current conditions are: temp, 32.7; dew point, 24.1; wind speed and direction, 5mph from the SE.  An occluded front has formed on the east side of WI, so we can expect great precipitation in that area. 
We might get some snow tomorrow, but more than likely, it'll just be clear and cold. 

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

2/22/11

Current temperature is 26.1, dew point is 15.4, 4mph SE wind.
A cold wave appears on the way, with some snow and associated weather appearing tomorrow.

Sunday, February 20, 2011

2/20/11

Temperature 25.7.  Dew Point 23.7.  Called it.  14mph wind from the NE.  There's a low pressure system located just south of WI, unclear yet whether that will bring the warm front in on us, or if that'll miss us and we'll still get cold and snow. 
My prediction is with the latter. 

Saturday, February 19, 2011

2/19/11

Today, the temperature is 30.4 degrees.  The Dew Point is 8.8.  Mostly cloudy with high Altostratus clouds. Clear, calm and somewhat chilly.  The National Map for the National Weather Service shows that a cold front  advancing in a southeastern direction, moving right in on us.  Also, we are enveloped in an area where heavy snow is possible.  SO...
Expect snow.  And cold, although perhaps not so much colder than present.  Dew Point very close to the temperature.

Friday, February 18, 2011

2/18/11

Currently 27, but it feels like 12, and I totally agree with that.  20 mph wind from WSW. 
Tomorrow, partly cloudy, a slight raise in temperature. 

Wednesday, February 16, 2011

2/16/11

52 degrees! Holy cats! 4 mph wind from the SE, barely noticable, mostly cloudy.
We're right now in the 120mph jet stream zone, which should bring up the weather from the SW to here.  Imagine rain.

Tuesday, February 15, 2011

2/15/11

Weather is nice.  Partly cloudy.  42.4 degrees.  6mph SE wind. 
Tomorrow, expect there to be more of the same.  Hooray!

2/14/11

What a great weekend, and what a great continuation of weather today! Currently 25 degrees, dew point 19 degrees, 80% relative humidity, 5 mph wind that's barely noticable.  Partly cloudy. 
Tomorrow should be nice too, we're out of the strongest part of the jet stream, in fact we're in a bit of a ridge at the moment, and there's no cold front moving in; we've got a warm front keeping the cold air at bay, indeed, it's a stationary front up in the Alberta/Saskatchewan area, and nothing but a warm front north of WI.  SO, temperatures in the 30's, and maybe some clouds.

2/11/11

IT'S SNOWING! 21 degrees, getting better.  Humidity 81%, resulting in light snow.  1009.3mb barometric pressure, which is lower than it has been recently, and as we know, low pressure systems result in precipitation.  6mph wind from the South. 
Tomorrow, probable moderate snow, and warming up still.

Super Bowl! Anyway, what the weather "was" like at 4:30: overcast, but perfectly calm; also a nice temp.  Earlier in the day it had been partly cloudy with a slight wind.  The heavier clouds moved in during the day. 
Tomorrow: I predict that the clouds which came are here to stay.  Overcast, with some wind.  Chilly.

2/2/11

I didn't believe it when I heard it yesterday, and looking at the sky today, I still could hardly believe it.  Clear blue skies today and brilliant sunshine.  Northwest winds.  Very chilly today: 11 degrees right now. 
Tomorrow's prediction: this blue sky can't stay that way forever.  We'll have clouds tomorrow, and it'll be a little warmer.
