Weather Conditions for Wednesday, May 4th 2011

On Monday it was May 2nd... but it felt like the end of NOVEMBER! The high was 39 degrees, and it was absolutely awful. In MAY!!!

Today was another story. Today it was beautiful! The high today was 63 degrees, it is currently 52 degrees. Clear skies all day, with a couple cirrus clouds every once in a while. The wind is coming from the SSE at 8mph.

If we look at the current surface map, we can see the end of that cold front/warm front system, the occlusion, heading our way. We will probably end up with some rain tonight and tomorrow because of that.

When we look at the jet stream we can see that there is a nice trough right where that cold front/warm front system is that is heading our way. If that formed more toward the East I think it could have been a pretty nasty system, but it is occluded, which means it is dying out and the most we will probably get is rain.
