Weather Conditions for Tuesday, April 19th 2011




So there definitely was a system that moved through the state today, but nothing too bad happened here (thankfully!!). There were a couple snow flurries and raindrops around 4 or 5pm but nothing significant, and nothing that accumulated.

If we look at the barometric pressure readings from today, we see that right at 4:00 the pressure dropped dramatically, which indicates that this is when the low pressure system moved through. This is around the time when it started raining/snowing.

Currently the temperature is 33 deg F and the low for tonight is supposed to get to 31 deg. The wind is coming from the NE at 12 mph. There was mainly 100% cloud coverage today from what I could tell, and the majority of them were stratus, with some nimbostratus at times (around 4).

If we look at the surface map, it looks like the majority of the major activity has moved to the East of us, with a few lingering flurries in our area. My predictions for tomorrow are going to be the same temperature-wise that it was today, with maybe a couple flurries or rain showers, but nothing that will accumulate.
