Starting the Week Out Right

Observation time: 2:25 pm

Precipitation: None
Sky conditions: Clear
Wind: 15 mph from the northwest
Temperature: 73 degrees

Today we have two cold fronts locally, and lots of high pressure throughout the country. As the main front moves off to the east, more high pressure will be coming in behind it which will make for another nice day tomorrow. Watch out later in the week though, as moisture from the northwest could be headed our way.

Today's Rant

We are seeing some of our warmest weather in a long time this afternoon. Things have been pretty calm today, although winds have been fairly strong most of the day. High pressure is in control of much of the country right now, and although we have a couple of cold fronts in the area, we have remained dry. Our surface winds have been coming from the north/northwest, but the jet is coming more from the southwest as we are kind of sitting at the bottom of a small trough. The warmer air coming from the south has greatly helped our temperature over the last few days, and that is certainly evident today.

Forecast for Tomorrow

Continued winds from the north will mean that today might be the warmest weather we see for a while, although things aren't going to be too bad tomorrow either. High pressure will be sticking around as the cold front moves off to our east, bringing rain to many places in the Appalachians and eventually the east coast. Lots of low pressure will be building in the northwest which could mean we might see some precipitation and storms later in the week, but tomorrow should be clear with a slightly lower temperature than today.
