Happy Cinco de Mayo

Observation time: 7:10 pm

Precipitation: None
Sky conditions: Clear
Wind: 13 mph from the northeast
Temperature: 63 degrees

Taking a look at today's nullschool wind map, you can clearly see that long stationary front cutting the country in half. This front is the main reason that thing have been relatively quiet throughout the country in the last few days. Neither the cold, dry air from the north, or the warm, moist air from the south have been able to take control and dictate the weather.

Today's Rant

We continued our small streak of very nice days today as temperatures continue to hang in the low 60's even after 7 pm. There are clouds to our north and south, but we are lucky enough to be in a small band of clear skies. Winds have been somewhat stronger than yesterday, but coming from a more eastern direction instead of from the north, helping it to feel closer to the actual temperature. That long stationary front I have been talking about is still hanging around and is now basically cutting the country in half from California to the Carolinas. South of that front, things are very quiet once again today, while to the north clouds are dominant. Extremely scattered shows are littering the northwest, as well as the northeast, but almost everyone else (ourselves included) are dry even if they aren't sunny. Other than that, there really isn't much to report around the country today as that long front is really keeping things in check.

Forecast for Tomorrow

With eastern winds predicted once again tomorrow, don't expect that temperature to change much if at all. It doesn't look as though there is going to be much movement with that stationary front yet, so the possibility of another clear, sunny day is becoming a reality as well. This may seem like a very short and boring forecast but, in all honestly things don't appear as they will be changing a whole lot anywhere in the U.S. in the next 24 hours. We have that massive front spreading across the whole country, and that really isn't allowing low or high pressure to gain control of anything. South of that line, things should be almost completely clear once again, and to the north where we are, expect much of the same. The exception will most likely be the northwest again, but what else is new?
