Weather Conditions for Wednesday May 11th, 2011

We're supposed to get some storms today, some possibly severe, which is awesome!
But I'd like to point out that weird weather pattern we have going on right now.

There is that low pressure system to the south, with that cold front, and stationary front. You can also see that it is occluded on the top, which may mean it could die out, but I don't think it is going to any time soon.

The jet stream is in a strange shape as well, creating TWO troughs, one in the western states and one by us. 

Currently it is hazy out, but sunny. the temperature is 65 degrees and expected to rise to mid to upper 70's. The wind is coming from the ENE at the moment, and if you look back at the current weather map you can see that it is because of that cold front. The wind is blowing across the front of the cold front. I'll check back in later once the storms start to build!
