Weather Conditions for Thursday May 5th 2011

It was rainy for the majority of the morning today, with overcast skies (nimbostratus clouds). Around 10:00am the clouds started to break up and turn into cumulonimbus clouds, and there were just a couple short bursts of rain after that.

The high for today was 55 degrees, so it stayed on the cooler side, compared to yesterday. The low for tonight is supposed to be 39 degrees F. There currently isn't a wind, and things are pretty calm.

When we look at the current surface map, we can see that the cold front causing all the rain this morning is now past us and on the Eastern part of the state. Things are definitely calm in our area, and they look pretty calm in the rest of the country too aside from that cold front.

We are seeing a very zonal jet stream at the moment, which is another reason for all this calm weather. 

My predictions for tomorrow are calm, and beautiful with higher temperatures. Something to look forward to. :)
