Barometric Pressure: 1021.1 mb

It is slightly cooler yet again today! It has been overcast most of the day so far with what appear to be stratus clouds. This cloudy trend will likely continue through Thursday and start breaking up towards the end of the week. We currently have strong SE winds bring moist air into the area with a cold front moving our way.


This picture above shows the current surface winds across the country. There is a very defined frontal boundary splitting the country in two. On the east side of the front, there is warm moist air being ushered in from the south. This will be the system that will arrive in our area later tonight and bring the rain that we are expected to see tomorrow.


The picture above shows the amount of water vapor there is in the atmosphere. In front of this system there is a fair amount of moisture. I believe that we will experience rainfall for much of the day tomorrow. With the amount of moisture in the atmosphere, and the speed of the system, I predict it may rain for an extended period of time tomorrow. As the day goes on, the rain should lighten up, but the cloudy skies will stick around for most of Friday.
