Its currently about 12:30 and the weather today is a lot like it was all weekend, pretty chilly and windy.  When I first woke up this morning, there was a good deal of cloud cover, however these clouds have broken up and the sun is shining.  The current temperature is 42 degrees but it feels like 37.  Winds have shifted to the north and are coming in at about 6 mph.  Barometric pressure dropped a little from my last post and is now at 1029.9 and steady with relative humidity being 40% and the dew point at 20 degrees.  When looking at the jet stream there is a zonal flow with no troughs throughout the country bringing in any arctic air anywhere.  When looking at the current surface map, there is a huge stationary front to the south and a low pressure system forming in Colorado which is a good indicator of a storm coming and from the map, there appears to be some rain and snow associated with this system.  For tomorrow, I predict a little warmer temeperatures with some increasing cloud cover and no storms yet, but perhaps by Wednesday.
