Wednesday, May 11, 2011

Today started out the same as yesterday with thunderstorms in the morning. Which then later gave way to some very isolated showers throughout the rest of the day. Clould cover for the day was almost 100%. Temperatures were in the lower 70's today. With a light northeast wind.

For tomorrow I think that we are going to see some sunshine as the high pressure moves in from the west. However we may see some precipitation from whats left over from the system that just had moved through. I think there could be a very nice weekend ahead of us

Tuesday, May 10, 2011

Looks like I was a little off on my prediction for today. I thought it was going to rain. Instead sunny all day and it looks like the rain is going to hold off until tomorrow.

Today is the nicest day of the year so far. Clear sunny skies with temperatures almost nearing 80*. There is a moderate wind from the southeast. I think that the rain is going to come late tonight or tomorrow as the low pressure system moves through. Temperatures should stay the same as today. I think summer is finally here to stick around.

Well today started out great with an amazing thunderstorm this morning. After the system came through there was off and on showers throughout the day. There was a very strong wind from the east for most of the day. Later in the afternoon the skies did clear and it was actually a very nice evening.

By looking at the weather map it looks as if there is a mid-latitude cyclone developing to our southwest so i predict that there is going to be some poor weather in the future. The Jet-stream also has formed a large trough over the rocky mountains. The weather could get pretty poor this week.

Today was a very nice day outside. Temperatures were in the mid 60's and in the morning there was a moderate wind from the west which has calmed down. The skies were mostly sunny all day with some alto cumulus clouds. Into the afternoon the cloud cover did increase.

By looking at the surface map currently there is an occluded front off to the west which should be impacting our weather tomorrow. I predict that there is going to be some rain in the morning but then the afternoon should be partly cloudy. Temperatures should stay relatively the same as today seeing as how we are finally out of that jet stream trough that was bringing us the poor weather last week and early this week.

My predictions were correct for Tuesday, it was a nice sunny day, not as warm as I had expected but nonetheless it was a great day. That high pressure system settled in nicely and thats also why we are having our good weather today.

Today again is very nice. Temperature is currently 60* F with a moderate wind from the southeast. The skies have very few clouds today. By looking at the surface map the high pressure system is starting to move out which also by looking at that low pressure system and occluded front moving in from the west may bring us some precipitation within the next 24 hours.


When you take a look at the jet stream you can see the trough that has been giving us all the poor weather lately is starting to flatten out over us meaning hopefully the colder temps are done for the year. Atleast we can hope so.


For tomorrow I predict that we will have still warmer temps unlike last week. But i do think that front moving in is going to bring us some precipitation in the form of rain possibly later tonight or early tomorrow morning.

Another wintery day when it should be spring by now. Temperatures today are again just above freezing. The wind is currently light and from the west. By looking at the surface map it looks like that high pressure system is going to be moving in tomorrow hopefully going to bring us some clearer skies and maybe some warmer temperatures.


When you look at the image of the Jet Stream you can see that there is that trough again which had brought in all that cold weather like last Thursday.


Tomorrow night should be colder because of the clearer skies and not holding in the temperatures.

Lets hope spring is finally here!

April 19, 2011

This morning started out as a cloudy day, temperatures in the upper 30's. There was the Colorado Low that had developed throughout the day yesterday that is now affecting our current weather. The system had moved eastward bringing some cooler temperatures as well as some precipitation, which currently is in the form of snow.

Currently there is a light wind from the east, temperatures are in the mid 30's right now. By looking at the map the low pressure system is fairly far south meaning that hopefully the snow will not be around for long.
