Its currently just after 1pm and my predictions for today were on and off.  I was right in us not getting any precipitation and for the sky to clear up, however I wrongfully predicted the wind direction and temperature.  Current temperature is 43 degrees with 0% cloud cover.  There is a 7 mph wind coming directly from the west and barometric pressure is 1029.5 and still steady.  Relative humidity is 41% and the dew point is 21 degrees so the air isn't very saturated.  When looking at the current surface map, I notice a dry line on the western part of Minnesota coming in separating the moisture difference on both sides.  There appears to be light rain on both sides of the dry line and there's a low pressure cold front behind this line which is going to bring us some rain sometime soon.  My prediction for tomorrow is a little warmer temperatures with no precipitation yet because of the dryline, and for winds to continue coming from the west.
