Weather Conditions for Thursday, February 10th 2011

It's still super cold out there! Even though today we had somewhat of a rise in temperatures (it's still currently a whopping -6 degrees). Today there was 0% cloud coverage, which could have had an influence on the colder temperatures, and there was also hardly any wind. What wind there was, was a WSW wind. Another reason (and probably the main reason) for the cold temperatures in our area is because we still have arctic air coming in from the jet stream. It is supposed to continue to get warmer after tomorrow though, with a high of 27 degrees, and even possible flurries! Tomorrow night's low is supposed to be aound 17 degrees.
