Weather Conditions for Sunday, May 15th 2011

After our hot and humid weather this past week, we sure have had a cold and rainy weekend.

On Saturday the high was only 50 degrees F, and we received rain for most of the day.

Today the temperature has gone up a little bit, but not too much. It is currently 64 degrees F, and the low for tonight is supposed to get down to 36!! So currently we do have a "Frost Advisory" in our area for the night

If we look at the current weather situation in our area, there isn't a whole lot happening. All of the systems that  brought us humidity and thunderstorms last week are now far to the South and the East of us. The current wind direction is from the NNE at 20 mph, which has a lot to do with why our current temperatures are so cold.

Looking at the jet stream we can also see that there is a small trough by Wisconsin which is bringing in that cold air from Canada and causing that Northern wind.


NOTE: I just realized that since I have been posting these images using the websites URLs, they are being updated at the same time that they are updated through the websites I get them from (www.weather.com, www.intellicast.com). So if you are looking at these images at a later date then when I posted them, they may not match with my descriptions well.
