Its currently 4 pm and my predictions for today were pretty accurate.  The winds have picked up, its chilly outside and its cloudy.  We did also get some rain last night and some drops today because of that cold front that passed.  The current temperature is 44 degrees although it feels cooler probably because of the 14 mph wind coming from the east bringing in that maritime polar air.  The sky is again completely covered with a blanket of stratus clouds and the barometric pressure dropped a little to 1030.2 and is still falling slowly beccause of a low pressure system moving in.  Relative humidity is 40% and the dew point is 25 degrees.  When looking at the water vapor sattelite and the jetstream there seems to be a mid latitude cyclone forming just to the southwest of us and this trough is bringing in our cold air and a lot of water vapor.  There is a large stationary front approaching as well that has some showers associated with it so I expect for us to get some rain in the next 12 to 24 hours.  For tomorrow, I predict another day like today, windy, chilly, cloudy and look for us to get some rain.
