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. 

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.

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. 

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.

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. 

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!

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.
