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.

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.

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.

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.
